elmergrid to partition mesh

Post by mark smith »

Hi Elmer team
I have an elmer mesh (mesh.nodes etc) produced using GiD, it consists of tets,prisms & hexahedral solid mesh and triangular & quad surface mesh, When I run elmersolver using just the resultsoutput solver with vtu format and save geometry IDs the resulting vtu file shows all my boundary conditions.
Now if I partition the mesh using "elmergrid 2 2 mesh -metis 8 3 -partdual" and run the same sif file with "mpiexec -n 8 elmersolver_mpi" then the boundary conditions which were over quad elements do not appear in the resulting vtu file?

Any suggestions?

Regards
Mark

Further to my original post, I have discovered the following additional problem with elmergrid
The mesh is a first order mesh, if I try to increase the order using "elmergrid 2 2 mesh -increase" elmergrid reports problems with element type 404
i.e. FindParentSide: unsuccesful (elemtype=404 elemsides=5 parent=1)

And as before BC's on quad elements do not appear in the vtu file
