Elmer Discussion Forum

Thanks mzenker, Yeah, I decided to go with Kubuntu because of FreeCAD forum advice about the attractiveness of "KDE" desktop environment and because CAELinux used Ubuntu. Personally, I don't want to use a LiveDVD distribution though because of reduced performance. I do plan on installing t...

Hello, Well, I have my new workstation! Before I start and get lost in multi-physics, I want to get FreeCAD on my workstation so that I can build nice geometric structures to be meshed. I am completely new to Linux though, I decided on CentOS, and I must compile my own FreeCAD because no FreeCAD RPM...

Hello, Question: When thinking about multiple core processors, will Elmer Multi-physics take advantage of processor multitasking? I assume it will since you mentioned MPI[1]. Since I am learning, I thought I would make sure before I concentrate on such processors as Intel Xenon. I was reviewing some...

Hello, Does MPI = Message Passing Interface? Also, I had the same question and was searching today. I suspected the requirements would be similar to gaming computers. I came across a COMSOL page that made the following recommendations. I do not mention COMSOL for advertisement reasons, but mention C...

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the quick reply!

Oh well, Elmer appears to be an amazing multi-physics software anyhow! Great job!

Hello, I am a chemical engineer and would really enjoy finding an open source multi-physics with chemical reaction physics such as Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), Plug flow Reactor (PFR), Batch Reactor, Non-Ideal Residence Time Distribution simulation, etc. I wish I had the programming kno...
