With MUMPS it is indeed the same but not faster. E.g., see 1.txt
and 2.txt<br>
<br>
With GAMG, cg takes forever (see 4.txt). For reference GAMG with
preonly is attached again (3.txt)<br>
<br>
All logs include -fieldsplit_0_ksp_monitor.<br>
<br>
Also, the true residual shows small oscillations. Is that normal?<br>

<div> With MUMPS , i.e., with '-fieldsplit_0_pc_type lu
-fieldsplit_0_pc_factor_mat_solver_package mumps
-fieldsplit_0_ksp_type preonly' it works fine but
takes more time, and will be an issue for larger
problems. The output for this run is attached.<br>
<br>
I will work on passing rigid body modes (as Matt
mentioned) but short of that what is the best set of
options for solving the following problem (i.e.,
linear elasticity with constraints):<br>
<br>
<tt>|K cG'| | u | = |F|</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>|G 0 | |l/c| |d|</tt><br>
<br>
where c is a scaling factor (so that cG' terms are
more or less of the same order as K)? The constraints
are used to impose slip between surfaces and so on.<br>

<div dir="ltr">The null space for GAMG is not critical
but useful for elasticity. If you in fact have an
indefinite operator (eg, not "pinned) the you need
to use an iterative coarse grid solver. You are
using '-fieldsplit_0_pc_type gamg
-fieldsplit_0_ksp_type preonly'. And you have a
hard elasticity problem. You are going to want to
start with a stronger solver. Use cg instead of
preonly. As Matt said start with MUMPS, then go to
CG/GAMG, then you can see how far you can cut the
_0_ solver down.

Sorry about that (I
always forget it). The
output for the
smallest problem is
now attached (see
log.txt). I am also
attaching some results
that compare results
obtained using FS/LSC
and the direct solver
(MUMPS), again for the
smallest problem. The
difference, as you can
see is insignificant
O(1E-6).<br>

<div>2) You can see from the

<div> Did you add the

Hello<br>
<br>
I am using the
following
options
(below) for
solving linear
elasticity/poroelasticity
problems
involving slip
between two
surfaces
involving
non-trivial
geometries,
i.e., elements
with high
aspect ratios,
large
contrasts in
material
properties
etc. The
constraints
are imposed
using Lagrange
Multipliers. <br>
<br>
A picture
(shows
displacement
magnitude) is
attached. The
boundary
nodes, i.e.,
the base and
the four side
are pinned.<br>
<br>
The following
options appear
to work well
for the saddle
point problem:<br>
<br>
<tt>-pc_type
fieldsplit
-pc_fieldsplit_type
schur
-pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point
-fieldsplit_0_pc_type
gamg
-fieldsplit_0_ksp_type
preonly
-fieldsplit_1_pc_type
lsc
-fieldsplit_1_ksp_type
preonly
-pc_fieldsplit_schur_fact_type
lower
-ksp_monitor</tt><br>
<br>
However, the
number of
iterations
keep on
increasing
with the
problems size
(see attached
plot), e.g.,<br>
<br>
<tt>120K
Tets <b>507</b>
Iterations
(KSP Residual
norm
8.827362494659e-05)</tt><tt>
in 17 secs on
3 cores<br>
</tt><tt>1
Million Tets
<b>1374</b>
Iterations
(KSP Residual
norm
7.164704416296e-05)</tt><tt>
in 117 secs
on 20 cores<br>
</tt><tt>8
Million Tets
<b>2495</b>
Iterations
(KSP Residual
norm
9.101247550026e-05)
in 225 secs on
160 cores</tt><br>
<br>
So what other
options should
I try to
improve solver
performance?
Any
tips/insights
would be
appreciated as
preconditioning
is black magic
to me.<br>
