Soft limiter causes force to disappear

Sorry I can't post an simplified example (and I can't post my work), I'm having a very hard time isolating/reproducing this problem. The basic context is this - I have MySolver writing a field MyValues, with values on a certain boundary. On the same boundary, I have Force 2 = Equals MyValues 2 and S...

Re: Switching transient and steady or having an initial phase

I just did an svn update to rev. 6035. I didn't see any difference adding 'Steady State Condition = Logical True' to the solver section. Then I went to look for heateq_steady_state in tests and didn't find it. Not a big deal, since I'm already doing what Matthias suggested. I was just wondering what...

UDF Parameter Dependency

Hi, I am not sure why this is not working. In my sif I have My Variable = Variable Time Real 1 x 2 y 3 z End but in my solver, Variable = ListGetConstReal( Model % BCs(t) % Values, 'My Variable', stat) PRINT *, "Read value", Variable returns x, regardless of timestep. Is this functionality...

Re: HELP requested - how to import variable (or array) to UDF

I just had to do the same thing and found this thread. Instead of figuring out how N and NodeIndexes parameters played with ListGetRealArray, I just used the very simple ListGetConstRealArray as shown in the manual. RealPointer => ListGetConstRealArray( List, 'Name of Array', GotIt) Works great for ...

Re: Eigenvalue analysis of a 3D cantilever

I saw that the tutorial used linear elements and thought that would be fine. Trying second order, the results are virtually the same: EigenSolve: Computed Eigen Values: EigenSolve: -------------------------------- EigenSolve: 1 ( 443094.94572000677 , 0.0000000000000000 ) EigenSolve: 2 ( 1684349.5976...

Eigenvalue analysis of a 3D cantilever

In the tutorial "Eigenvalue analysis of an elastic beam", both faces 1 and 2 are fixed, but I removed the boundary condition on face 2 to create a simple cantilever. When I run Elmer, it gives EigenSolve: Computed Eigen Values: EigenSolve: -------------------------------- EigenSolve: 1 ( 4...

Re: Displacement Loads

Peter, Appreciate your quick help. I always wondered what Var % Perm was. For reference, DO i = 1, Model % NumberOfNodes PRINT *, Var % Values( Var % Perm( 3 * i - 2)), Var % Values( Var % Perm( 3 * i - 1)), Var % Values( Var % Perm( 3 * i )) END DO Produces a segmentation fault. After checking Var ...

Displacement Loads

I am trying to extract the displacement loads out of a 1x1x1 box that has 1Pa pushing down from the top and is restricted from moving on the bottom, but I run into a strange problem: the displacement loads do not line up with the node numbers as can be observed through ElmerPost. For instance, node ...
