Re: Piezoelectric transducer simulation

There is a related example in 'elmerfem/src/tests/piezo'. If you have tried running this example, does it help with your situation?

Re: Streamlines seem to be wrong

While trying to run the case, I had to add some '$' to provide matc calculations, such as: Heat Transfer Coefficient = $1/0.04 Then I got this warning: WARNING:: VtuOutputSolver: Vtu time collection requires a transient simulation! So I commented out the result output solver, and changed 'Post File ...

Re: ERROR:: IterSolve: Numerical Error: System diverged over maximum tolerance.

Hello, The message says that the solution did not converge. Also in your attached solver log, this message occurs multiple times: ERROR:: ElementMetric: Degenerate 3D element: 32680 ElementMetric: Body Id: 1 DetG: 0.000000E+00 ElementMetric: Node: 1 Coord: 1.826950E-03 -1.730610E-02 0.000000E+00 Ele...

Re: Expasion due to Heat

Changing just "linear system residual output = 1" and running shows that IterSolve gets to iteration 9 before NAN occurs. See the attached solver log.

Re: Expasion due to Heat

The load in the problem is a body force 'Temperature' keyword. I couldn't find that keyword in Elmer Models Manual in Heat Equation. I also couldn't find a test case using that keyword, but that may be just because looking through the tests for Temperature returns lot's of entries that are mostly in...

Re: Expasion due to Heat

It seems that the crash happens in the heat solver in temperature iteration 1, so the stress solver is initialized but never started. Would the unfixed rigid body issue still be present? Rich. Edit: I edited the mcase.sif, removing the stress solver completely leaving just the heat solver. The same ...

Re: Expasion due to Heat

Hello Peter,

Is there some way to get more information out of elmersolver than just 'Output = 50'?

If there is, I'd be happy to run it.

Rich.

Re: Expasion due to Heat

Running the quarter example worked perfectly. Also, when running the full circular plate example, making this single change allowed the simulation to run to completion: Linear System Preconditioning from ILU0 to ILU1 Rich. Edit: The change from ILU0 to ILU1 was done only in the heat solver. The othe...

Re: Expansion due to Heat

Definitely! Anyone else out there running Windows care to give it a try?

Thanks, Rich.
