Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello Peter, Yes, if somebody makes additions we'll be happy to include them in http://elmerfem.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/elmerfem/trunk/ElmerGUI/Application/edf/egmaterials.xml?view=log A major showstopper in this respect is the lack of (defineable) units for the material data. For us it was a con...

Hello Bukuney, Can I install and run Debian or kUbuntu on an external USB hard drive? That should depend on the BIOS capability of your computer: It should be able to boot from the USB attached partition. I would not recommend to execute a full-fledged Linux as a virtual machine if computational spe...

Hi Peter,

Hello Meshers, ... (although I'm not yet sure the best way to export a mesh from Salome for use in Elmer I'd like to report quite good experiences with Salomé's UNV export. After fiddling around with the group definitions for both volumes and surfaces (yes, that takes some learning curve indeed) you...

Hello @all, after updating the Elmer system by SVN and recompiling only yesterday I started a transient calculation anew that already worked before and yielded time-resolved temperature data along a line through a certain body.

At least for me these two appeared to be the most sensible ones to get involved in about two years ago. I ended ...

Hello Selim,

please see the thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=994

This should answer your question as well.

Hello Mirek, How can I split the surface of an object into several bodies? (in order to set different boundary conditions for each body) When I load into ElmeGUI the samples: samples\ElmerGUI\stl\part1.stl or samples\ElmerGUI\stl\hinge.stl they automatically get divided into several bodies in a logi...

Hello Even, I staggered over a localization problem when using UNV meshes exported from Salomé. Here the exported dot "." in the number representation needed to be replaced by a comma ",". On Linux boxes this transformation is readily performed by a simple SED command: sed "...
