Re: [Libmesh-users] Periodic BCs for unstructured mesh

2018-08-10 Thread Bailey Curzadd
I see what you mean. In the meantime, I worked out how to automatically generate meshes where the boundary faces have a matching discretization, and I'm trying to work with PeriodicBoundary. However, I always get a "Periodic boundary neighbor not found" error. I thought the matched-face meshing mig

In that sense of "unstructured", strong enforcement of periodic boundaries would lead to "locking". Imagine piecewise linear or bilinear elements, with nodes like: AB--C--D--E-F on one side of the boundary and G-H---I-J---K---L on the other. Side AB forces GH and HI to have the

2018-08-07 Thread Bailey Curzadd
Hi there, I'm using libMesh to calculate the homogenized properties of microstructures with cuboid unit cells. To do this, the boundaries of the unit cell require periodic boundary conditions. As far as I can tell, though, the PeriodicBoundary class only works with structured meshes, which isn't r
