Mesh smoothing

Post by hamed »

Dear Elmer
Is there any capability for mesh smoothing in Elmer or not? And if not do you know any source code for mesh smoothing anywhere else?
And furthermore, What is meant by the phrase 'on-the-fly' (e.g. loads that are created on-the-fly)?
Regards, Hamed

Hi Hamed,

There is no mesh smoothing in Elmer. However, if by mesh smoothing you mean applying some diffusive filter to the positions of the nodes then something like that could be modified from the MeshUpdate solver, or applying a few rounds of Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel to the nodal coordinates.

By the phrase "on-the-fly" we mean that something is done immediately when the data is available during the simulation, rather than as a postprocessing step after the simulation.
