GAMG is primarily an algebraic multigrid preconditioner. The geometric part is somewhat weaker and isn't the primary purpose of GAMG, so I would recommend using -pc_gamg_type agg for plain aggregation. For good performance with elasticity it is important to use smoothed aggregation, for example,

2013-05-09 Thread Ataollah Mesgarnejad
Dear all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience using gamg with libMesh (I'm particularly interested in elasticity)? My main question would be if the geometric part of gamg would work with the underlying mesh structure in libMesh? I would appreciate any comments/recommendations, Ata ---
