[deal.II] Explicit Instantiation of DoFTools::distribute_cell_to_dof_vector function

Hi all, I noticed that DoFTools::distribute_cell_to_dof_vector function is not explicitly instantiated for non-zero codim (dim != spacedim) problems. https://github.com/dealii/dealii/blob/88c91f26d0fa4842d5d6e2cd78c33f6c6fd234ac/source/dofs/dof_tools.inst.in#L157 I wonder if there is a

Hi Amit, If you are interested in using symmetry then I suspect you may also want to use periodic boundary conditions on the "internal" faces of the octant. For an example of how this works (e.g., periodic boundary conditions containing a rotation) check out step-45:

Amit, I think that GridGenerator::quarter_hyper_shell is what you want. Best, Bruno On Friday, June 24, 2022 at 9:02:11 AM UTC-4 Paras Kumar wrote: > HI Amit, > > Focusing on the

HI Amit, Focusing on the question of mesh generation, it is possible to generate an automated HEX mesh using Gmsh, but since that mesh is based on Delaunay based approaches, quality may not be very good. See discussions in this thread:

[deal.II] Can I use 3D prism elements (extruded triangles) in deal.ii?

Hi. I am considering deal.ii for some nonlinear elasticity and fracture analysis. >From what I read in the documentation, deal.ii supports hexahedral elements much better than tetrahedral elements. My geometry looks as shown in the attached picture. The actual geometry is a boolean difference
