[petsc-users] query about PETSc usage in Fortran applications

[Blaise Bourdin]

Lois,

I use petsc through the fortran interface for my variational fracture mechanics code. (unstructured finite elements, 2d-3d). petsc has been instrumental in getting a parallel version. Sieve really helped me getting to large problems (largest to date being a 24M elements, 2,400 cores simulation, after which I cannot find tools to post-process my results)


The application area is somewhere between engineering, computational mechanics, and applied mathematics

I currently use Sieve, the KSP solvers and am in the (slow) process of adding TS. In the future, I will try to use VI in order to replace the optimization routines from TAO.

I have acknowledged petsc in the following publications (I don't think that any of them is listed on the petsc web page).

as well as in several conference proceedings, and talks.
