Elmer Discussion Forum

Dear Matthias, Dear Rainer, how is your project evolving? Are your scripts/modules working in salome? Edit: When I set an equation like 'Electrostatics' 'Active', I get the following Error message in the terminal: ################ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/salomev780/...

I can only answer the point regarding 'provide names of objects': yes FC does provide the names of the constraints in the .unv... Well, that is a good start. That way ElmerGrid should be able to create the respective files. So we now have to find somebody, who writes the interface to FreeCAD. As I ...

This looks quite promising!! Is there a tutorial on how to achieve the multi-body mesh?

Is there another tutorial about how to add functionality to FreeCAD via Python scripts? Interesting part is, how the external Python script (link to ELMER) can be integrated in the GUI.

As far as I can overlook the current situtation, it should be easy the make my current approach available in FreeCAD too. Why? The current project is an almost-Python-clone of the freestanding Elmer-Version (in C). It lacks the graphical mesh-part of Elmer and derives that data from the superimposed...

Hi,
check you inbox

Cheers,

The sif-file will be generated by Salome in the end. That is already planned but not really designed.

There is a new update in the git-rep. A finally found a solution to deal with the equations and materials in a nice way. And it works

The mesh calculation is still an open issue in our approach. The current idea is indeed based on the ElmerGrid functionality that will be called. But it still requires the unv-export of Salome. Timo, could you explain, whether your code is conserving the naming of the mesh parts? So if I have a volu...

Hi, I have never used the MUMPS in comsol as it is a direct solver. I usually solve my stuff with iterative solvers and prefer the BiCGStab in combination with ILUT preconditioning. I started with ELMER and have only recent access to Comsol. So I use the settings that proved to work in Elmer. Iterat...

Your welcome, just keep in mind that mesh size and your general time and length scales play an important role. It also makes a big difference if you are looking at steady-state or time-dependent solutions.

What exactly do you need to know? The installation in Windows is straight forward. Download the install und run it. If you want to use the multi-processing features you need an MPI installation. I am using the one from Microsoft that can be found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb524831...
