LEVEL SET: PROBLEM WITH MESH

Post by Andrea_P »

Good Morning dear Community,
I have an issue with the mesh in my Level set problem, Elmer gives an error message in the output file, it stops in the first iteration. I attached the output, the case.sif and the mesh in a link: https://we.tl/t-mzCiiYozwU. Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Andrea

I get that error when using

Linear System Solver = direct
Linear System Direct Method = umfpack

because I run out of system memory.

I have had success using

Linear System Solver = direct
Linear System Direct Method = Mumps

in its place.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your constant help. How can I install MUMPS?

It is part of Elmer on a unix system, I don't think it has been done on Windows. You can search mumps windows on this forum.

You can switch to the iterative solver instead of direct.

Linear System Solver = Iterative
Linear System Iterative Method = BiCGStab
Linear System Max Iterations = 500
Linear System Convergence Tolerance = 1.0e-8
BiCGstabl polynomial degree = 2
Linear System Preconditioning = ILU0

Hi Kevin,
I have Ubuntu and fedora machines too. So, for example, how can I install it?

I have tried your code, but it does not work :(

Can you post the sif for that one?

I attached the case.sif.

I think

Linear System Solver = Iterative ! direct
Linear System Direct Method = BiCGstab ! umfpack

should be

Linear System Solver = Iterative ! direct
! Linear System Direct Method = BiCGstab ! umfpack
Linear System Iterative Method = BiCGstab

Hi Kevin,
I have changed as you said, but it gave me the same error message.
