Dear Faith, kevinarden has already provided the example for thermal stress analysis in elastic solids. For elastic region, you can use the StressSolver and HeatSolver together. Solver 1 Equation = Heat Equation Procedure = "HeatSolve" "HeatSolver" Calculate Loads = True Variable ...

Dear Kevin, For the following simulation settings, Header ... Mesh DB "./../" "Mesh_1" ... End Simulation ... Output File = "../Mesh_1/old.result" Output File = "../Mesh_1/old.result" ... End The following error occurs : SaveResult: ---------------------------...

Hi, The code for producing old.result file Output File = "old.result" Binary Output = Logical True assumes that the directory of the mesh is in the same directory as the sif file i.e. Mesh DB "." "Mesh1" . How do we modify the path for the output restart file old.result...

I tried running this ipynb file with jupyter notebook in my local PC (with all requirements pre-installed beforehand), and it works perfect.

In order to run in the notebook within the local computer, I made the following type of change: with

For obtaining converged simulations with Navier-Stokes equations, it is generally recommended to start the test cases with the following settings:
1. large value of dynamic viscosity
2. very small time step size (e.g. if coordinate scaling = 1.0E-03 , time step can be 1.0E-4 or less)

A good article that discusses about handling mortar boundary conditions using Elmer software. Gustafsson, T., Råback, P., & Videman, J. (2023). Mortaring for linear elasticity using mixed and stabilized finite elements. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 404, 115796. https://...

Dear Frederic,
Can you upload the file corresponding to the corrected mesh?

Best Regards,

Hi m_nadimii, Yes the electric conductivity materials properties can be a tensor (please refer the following snippet at https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/blob/devel/fem/src/modules/StatCurrentSolve.F90 ) . So, anisotropy can be directly supplied via sif. IF( .NOT. GetCondAtIp ) THEN k = ListGetIn...

Dear Roland, The use of mesh update solver is the limiting factor in my guess. It might be useful for shape change or mesh deformation , that happens at a small rate. I do not know whether the eulerian method such as "Level-set solver" is well suited for your case. There used to be an issu...

Dear Arved,
If you can upload a complete sif file with a simplified geometry/mesh file, then we can test it in our computers and provide the feedback.

Best Regards,
Anil
