Elmer/Ice courses - Material

Since 2008, a number of Elmer/Ice courses have been instructed. In this page, you will find the presentation and the material used during these courses. Because Elmer/Ice is evolving and some errors in the presentations have been found, it is recommended to start with the latest material.

Updated material for the most of the examples used for these different courses can also be downloaded from the ElmerIceCourses git repository.

Beginner's course, CSC-IT Center for Science, Espoo, Finland, 6.-7.11.2023

Instruction how to reach CSC: https://www.csc.fi/how-to-reach-us

Preparation to the course

We will not spend time troubleshooting not working Elmer/Ice installations at the place. We expect you to bring along a working Elmer installation.

This can be achieved by either…

  • installing the virtual appliance (preferred solution). Instructions can be found here.
  • installing Elmer on your computer (mind, that you need a working elmerf90 script in this installation). Following instructions for compilation can be useful. There also is a complete video instruction of installation of Elmer on Ubuntu 20 on Elmer YouTube channel.
  • using a remote desktop provided by CSC - if the above mentioned methods do not work out, we can provide you with temporal access to CSC's server via a remote desktop - please, contact thomas.zwinger@csc.fi if this is necessary

MIND: We also will need python, Gmsh and ParaView during the course (all of them being uploaded on the virtual appliance).

We also will invite registered participants to join a to the course dedicated Slack channel. The channel is meant to exchange in case of troubles before and during the course, but also can be used to discuss and give feedback after the event (we will leave it open).

If you want to start at your own pace, we also suggest to go through the simple 2D flowline example from 2020 online course before the course. This is also a good way to test your Elmer/Ice installation.

Online course 23-27 November 2020

CSC (Finland) and IGE (France) are organizing an online beginner Elmer/Ice course in November 2020. This course is sponsored by the H2020 projects TiPACCs and PROTECT and the french ANR project EIS.

The course consists of two phases:

Video instructions for self learning (16-20/11/2020): we provide a number of videos for self study that constitute the first part of the course. We will provide support via interactive sessions during this period to complete the exercises. Of course, questions could also be sent trough the Slack channel.

Online course (23-27/11/2020): consisting of daily online sessions. To accommodate all time zones, there will be a session starting at 8am CET and one starting at 5pm CET. All session will be kept below 2 hours.

Before the course, one should have a working Elmer/Ice installed on her/his computer. For that you can either:

  • install Elmer and Elmer/Ice directly on your computer, following instructions here.
  • install the virtual appliance. Instructions can be found here (easiest solution).
