Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi Youngmei,

I seem to have missed this question. Probably it comes late, sorry for that. Since March this has worked in parallel trivially. Every partition reads all .msh files. Good enough for moderately parallel cases.

See test case: ParallelBoundaryMapGmsh

Hi, The checksums for linear systems seems equal but the convergence looks quite different. I'm guessing that for some reason the rigid body motions kick in on the other platform. I would suggest fixing the center e.g, Boundary Condition 2 Target Coordinates(1,2) = 0.0 0.0 Displacement 1 = 0.0 Displ...

Hi Roland, For vtu output of Elmer you can say Vtu Part collection = Logical True (if you use the Simulation section to set "Post File = case.vtu" add it there with namespace "vtu: " as prefix). Note that you should give some nice names to the entities to help to identify them in...

Hi I think the Joule heating term Q is missing. Look at test case "current_heat_control". The "joule heat = true" activates it (this has some control too, but don't use it). As Kevin rightly pointed out you need some steady state iterations. Also set nonlinear system iterations t...

Hi I think you could get even more physical by getting inspiration from here: elmeruser@elmeruser-VirtualBox:~/elmerfem/fem/src/tests$ grep 'mortar bc coefficient' -ir /home/elmeruser/elmerfem/fem/tests/DisContBoundaryMortarJumpB/discont.sif: Mortar BC Coefficient Temperature = Real 1.0 /home/elmeru...

Hi, And what do you get with: Variable 1 = String "current density e 3" Mask Name 1 = String "Terminal1" Operator 1 = String "boundary int" The tag "Terminal1 = Logical True" being set at the boundary pushing the current in? And make sure that you run SaveScal...

Hi

What are the fields you see in paraview? You have to pick among them. Maybe you have the elemental current density (with suffix 'e') rather than the nodal one you try to use.

Hi There is a old test case "ContactFrictionHeating" that uses soft limiters to find the elastic contact and some conditional contacts for heating. Later in the development we would have used the mortar BCs which are optimal in accuracy. However, I'm dubious whether it is possible to combi...

The .msh file does not know anything about units. Hence the information is lost in translation and you end up mm being interpreted as m. -Peter

Hi If you just want to check for testing how your vtu output looks like then any solver can take "exec solver = before simulation" or "before timestep". If you have the vtu just defined in Simulation section you can pass on the info as "vtu: exec solver= before timestep"...
