Re: [Libmesh-users] adding boundary id on sides does not work in parallel??

Correct. Even if each processor does not have all the mesh data, looping over every element it does store is still a local operation and the proper way to ensure mesh consistency. -Ben On Apr 16, 2014, at 10:18 PM, "walter kou" mailto:walter4c...@gmail.com>> wrote: Can I consider that each pr

Can I consider that each processor have all the mesh data, such that looping the whole mesh does not cause extra communication? On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 9:41 PM, Kirk, Benjamin (JSC-EG311) < benjamin.k...@nasa.gov> wrote: > Correct. If you only iterate over local elements and modify the mesh

Correct. If you only iterate over local elements and modify the mesh it will become inconsistent across processors; and you'd need to fix that with communication. So it's cleaner to loop over all elements. On Apr 16, 2014, at 9:35 PM, "walter kou" mailto:walter4c...@gmail.com>> wrote: So I gue

So I guess, If I want to modify the subdomain_id, I will also need to use mesh.elements_{begin,end}, Right? On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 9:33 PM, walter kou wrote: > It works with mesh.elements_{begin,end}(). > > Thanks, > > > > > On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 8:42 PM, Kirk, Benjamin (JSC-EG311) < > benj

It works with mesh.elements_{begin,end}(). Thanks, On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 8:42 PM, Kirk, Benjamin (JSC-EG311) < benjamin.k...@nasa.gov> wrote: > You're modifying the mesh, so you need to be sure to do it the same on all > processors. In this case, the culprit I think is looping over the loc

You're modifying the mesh, so you need to be sure to do it the same on all processors. In this case, the culprit I think is looping over the local elements. What happens when you loop over mesh.elements_{begin,end}(); instead? -Ben On Apr 16, 2014, at 8:35 PM, walter kou wrote: > 1) Given a

Hi all, 1) Given a 3D mesh, I try to write a separate code to add boundary id, using: Mesh::element_iterator it_el = mesh.active_local_elements_begin(); const Mesh::element_iterator it_last_el = mesh.active_local_elements_end(); for ( ; it_el != it_last_el ; ++it_el) {
