[Libmesh-users] --enable-parmesh with uniformly_refine: Problem EquationSystems dofs

2011-11-03 Thread Robert . Bodner
Hello, I have configured libmesh with --enable-parmesh and I am reading a partitioned mesh with Nemesis_IO. My mesh is too big to refine it before partitioning - so I tried the following: Mesh new_mesh; Nemesis_IO(new_mesh).read("meshfile"); if

I have spent more than 20 hours now with the simple problem to read a tetgen file and write it with Nemesis_IO i such a way that I can re-read it in parallel. My mesh fits on one processor - but I can only use one because a copy of it on a second processor wouldn´t fit anymore. I read in the mesh

In serial every processor has a copy of the mesh, right? Is it possible to have such a copy only on one processor and not on the others - this would already free some space. > You'd either need to borrow a large memory machine for > long enough to read in the Tetgen file and rewrite it as > Nemes

2011-10-28 Thread Robert . Bodner
Hello, could someone give me an example of how to use parallelmesh? I have the problem that I have 12GB of RAM, 8 CPU's, but a mesh which has several GB (generated with tetgen). Now, if I understood everything right, a copy of the mesh is kept on every processor. I am reading the mesh with tetgen_i

[Libmesh-users] Getting started - example 9

2010-07-13 Thread Robert . Bodner
Hi to all, I am new to libmesh and quite new to finite elements as well. I have looked through the examples and I would like to try to modify example 9. I want to do some thermal modeling for geological applications. Thus, I would like to solve the diffusion equation, but with different thermal
