Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi, The solver thinks you have a degenerate 3D model with no volume. For 2D analysis, node points should be placed on the xy-plane. In your case, you can alternatively change the coordinate map in case.sif as follows: Simulation ... Coordinate Mapping(3) = 2 3 1 ... End If you are using ElmerGUI, th...

Please do "svn update" and recompile the plugin.

Hi, What is the model and version of your graphics card and GL renderer? This information is reported by ElmerGUIlogger at start-up. Does the same error occur if you switch desktop effects off (no Compiz)? The compositing window manager can make OpenGL applications useless depending on the graphics ...

Hi and welcome,

I just tried running your project on two different machines, and it worked well in both cases.

Which version of ElmerGUI/ElmerSolver are you using? The lastest Windows builds can be downloaded from nic.funet.fi My tests were based on rev 4259 from yesterday.

Seems like an internal error somewhere in the Netgen engine. Difficult to say without having a closer look at the model. Anyways, since you are using Salome for geometry modeling, you might want to use it for mesh generation as well. There are some user contributed instructions for generating and ex...

Hi, Unfortunately there is no extensive data on Elmer's performance on different processor architechtures. Personally I have very good experiences on Phenom, the performance of which is very close to Opteron. The equation is not that simple, though. Please note that the speed-up factor of the parall...

There was a small change... Could you please try the following:

- In the main window, choose View -> Cad model...
- In the cad model window, choose Model -> Preferences...
- Check "Restrict mesh size on surfaces by STL density"
- In the main window, open your stp file

Hi Adam, There is a Debian package for Elmer in unstable, with a lenny backport at: http://www.opennovation.org/debian/ . This is also in the Wiki under Compilation and Installation. I'd be happy to follow up on any comments or suggestions you have for the package. I just made a clean installation o...

2- The shots are taken too fast and they include the drop Down menus

Thanks for the observations.

Should be fixed now in svn (make install && see /usr/local/bin/edf/egini.xml for screen shot quality and delay).

Hi,

The axis of revolution is y (that is, x=0).
