I have made a mesh in Salome (see picture in second post, mesh refinements bodies of voids not shown) that is supposed to be used for a multibody magnetostatics simulation with various levels of mesh refinement. The mesh is sizable enough that Elmer has considerable lag running on a computer, a lapt...

Do you need parallel? Serial is much easier. Did you follow these instructions? http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/doc/GetStartedElmer.pdf How many processors are the default parallel solver set to? Do you have that many processors? I would start with serial until you get familiar with t...

I have already run the said problem in serial mode as well as running in serial mode with the MPI solver provided you are referring to the MPI installation as the MPI solver. I originally installed the non-mpi version which managed to get running. I decided to uninstall and then install the MPI vers...

Very simply, I downloaded the ElmerGUI with MPI binary that was last compiled on December 14, 2023. Using the default parallel solver options the simulation fails to proceed because of a segmentation fault. I have zero clue as to what I am looking at. My sif file and the simulation log file are atta...

Thank you! That is good to know. To be very frank, I've never done FEA. I supposedly did, but that was not a good class for me. We will see how this goes.

I have been trying to build and install ElmerFEM in the Ubuntu 22.04 VM that is provided by ElmerFEM. I have only tried compiling with the provided build script. The output error states The following tests FAILED: 285 - FixTangentVelo (Failed) 326 - IntegralConstraintFlow (Failed) 328 - IntegralCons...

I'm trying to build ElmerFEM with VTK as a support package for the the GUI. However, I'm unable to make it past the configuration step because `Development.Module` cannot be found by the VTK cmake files. I'm using CMAKE-3.26.4 and VTK-9.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I compiled VTK-9.2 myself. The error call st...

I am trying to install ElmerGUI with VTK 9, but I'm not even able to successfully configure the software because I'm hit with the following error CMake was unable to find desired Qt version: 3. Set advanced values QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE and QT3_QGLOBAL_H_FILE. CMake Error at cmake/Modules/FindPackageHa...
