Hi Juha and Mikko,

it works!!

Thanks to your help, I can display the simulation time in my animations now.

Thank you very much!

Hi Peter,

neither

fttext

nor

ffttext

works, unfortunately...

Matthias

If I do

fttext 0 0 "test"

from the command line, I get again the "invalid command name" error.

Do I have to compile ElmerPost myself in order to get freetype support, or are there binaries with this functionality?

Thank you,

Matthias

Hi Juha, thank you for your help. I have tried on the ElmerPost command line math {tstr=sprintf("fttext 0 0 \"test\"")} math tcl(tstr) and I get the error message invalid command name "fttext" So I am afraid my system does not support this command, unless I have made an...

Hi Peter, thank you for the hint. But as I save the animation directly from ElmerPost, I would by far prefer a solution within Elmer . Would it be possible to do it with the VTK postprocessor? BTW, the VTK Postprocessor is still veeery unstable for me, it frequently crashes right at startup. Is this...

Hi,

I have just downloaded the new Elmer distribution. Now in ElmerGUI there are free text fields at many places to allow for additional keywords. Thank you Elmer team for this improvement!!

Hi,

is there a way to display the time (in seconds) on the picture of an animation generated from a transient simulation?

Thank you,

Matthias

Hi Goetz, I think you will need the StatCurrent solver. To get in in ElmerGUI, you have to copy the file statcurrent.xml from bin/edf-extra to bin/edf in your Elmer program directory. If you think you might need more of the solvers which are in edf-extra, I advise you to copy them (or even all of th...

OK, so as first workaround I will extrapolate my material properties in order not to run into numerical problems, and examine the temperature course in the postprocessor.

Thank you,

Matthias

Hi Peter, I am afraid I do not fully understand your answer, but my question might not have been clear enough. I do not explicitly want to break a diverging simulation, even though my simulation could diverge if I do not stop it. As I wrote, I want to simulate the heating of a material by a current....
