comparison between different solvers

Post by teofilBitron »

In the last week I perform some benchmark analisys between Elmer to CalculiX and laplacianFOAM for a simple thermal Laplace case.
The results appear to be quite different mostly for thermal flux.
The case files are in the attached while a short document describe the case and summarize the results.

Any comment are welcome.

Cheers, Teofil

Hi Teofil,
You have done a great work of comparing Elmer Software with Calculix and OpenFOAM. I hope Peter, Matthias and other users of Elmer(specializing in heat Eq. module of Elmer) will give you more feedback regarding your scientific query.


Yours Sincerely,
