Elmer Discussion Forum

Dear Kevin, Peter and Rich, thanks for all of your efforts, with your help I could solve the problem. I actually used Peter's solution, as it was more straightforward to implement. But also here thanks for the excellent documentation, Kevin. I also added two minimal examples, one for a full circle a...

Hey Rich, thanks for your advice. The Container example looks indeed extremely promising, but despite many attempts, I could not create anything similar in 2D. I understood from the ElmerGrid documentation that using the Revolve command automatically extrudes the Mesh in a 3rd dimension. For the tim...

... and here the second attempt.

Dear Rich, I attached 2 examples as files and a corresponding picture. In the first example, I tried to use polar coordinates. Unfortunately, it seems probably only suited for 3D structures such as tubes, but not flat ones In the second example, I tried to use the transform feature "4". Bu...

Dear Forum, I want to run a study for a Gas Bearings using the Reynolds solver. Therefore, I would like to have a regular, concentric 2D grid as sketched in the picture. I understand that ElmerGrid is not very good with circular shapes, but the simplicity of the geometry tells me that there is proba...
