Thank you very much for implementing this feature Peter! I'll give it a try and I hope it won't be useful just to me :-). As for the DataToField solver, I just had some routine mistakes there but it seems to be working fine as well. I think I will now try to reverse-engineer it to be able to import ...

I see, thanks. I did try with the DataToField solver which I did not manage to get to work (probably some silly mistake since it keeps saying WARNING:: LocateParticleInMeshOctree: Could not locate particle in the mesh!) but even if I did, it would not help me in loading a vector field. So if I may h...

Hi Matthias and Peter, thank you for the answers. However, I think you are referring to the Rotational Extrusion filter in ParaView https://www.paraview.org/ParaView/Doc/Nightly/www/py-doc/paraview.simple.RotationalExtrusion.html . This filter, however, "forms a surface by rotating the input ab...

Dear Elmer community, I am dealing with the following problem; I managed to solve a rather complex conjugate heat transfer model in 2D axial symmetry, which gives me the radial and axial flow velocities as well as the spatial temperature distribution. Now, I would like to trace particles in these fi...

Dear Peter, could you please advise me, where to find instructions on how to build Elmer with Pardiso. I have not been able to find it.

Many thanks

Adam

Hi Peter,

thanks a lot for the quick answer, I will try compiling Elmer with Pardiso and SuperLU and post my experience here.

Best

Dear Elmer community, I am currently facing with two problems which are difficult to parallelize on the geometrical level (by partitioning) but could still benefit from parallelization. The first is radiative heat transfer (you cannot parallelize Gebhardt Factor calculation and even if you did, it m...

@Z.Losonc , I am not sure what you mean about FluxSolver. As far as I know, you can set the solver in the .sif file and by briefly checking the FluxSolver.F90, I would say that Elmer would consider it. Peter @raback, I am attaching my test case simple3d_radiation_test.zip . You will find there: the ...

So, answering to myself (and, hopefully, also future generations using Elmer for radiation problems :-) ): You can easily get around this issue by replacing the default UMFPACK solver with MUMPS (as long as you have it). All you need to do open the RadiationFactors.F90 file and replace around the li...

Dear Elmer Community, I am working on a conductive-radiative heat transfer simulation in a rather large geometry, which means I have to use an iterative solver to calculate the Gebhardt factors from view factors. My casefile is attached, the UNV file with the mesh cannot be uploaded due to size but ...
