[petsc-users] PETSc DAE solver

[Jin, Shuangshuang]

Hi, Shri, I was able to run the ex9bus.c code successfully with 'mpirun -n 1 ex9bus', but failed with 'mpirun -n 2 ex9bus' with the following message:

[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message ------------------------------------

Does that mean  the parallelized version of DAE solver in PETSc is not available yet? Or I missed some PETSc options to enable the function?

Another question is I also found two other examples in previous installed non-dev PETSc version:
petsc-3.3-p6/src/ts/examples/tutorials/ex8.c and ex19.c. I felt that they are somewhat similar to my problem. Do you think those two are useful examples to me as well? However, it seems like they are uniprocessor examples only too. Please correct me if I understand it wrong.

Thanks,
Shuangshuang

Shri, thank you! That's very helpful information. I'm going to obtain the development version of PETSc now.

Thanks,

Jin,
   If you are working on integrating power grid DAE equations  then you should use petsc-dev instead as we've added an example for it. petsc-dev/src/ts/examples/tutorials/power_grid/stabiltiy_9bus/ex9bus.c. There are other examples in the power_grid directory.

Hi, I'm trying to use PETSc to solve a set of first-order differential and algebraic equations such as:
x' =  f(x,y)
0 = g(x,y)

The resources I can find online so far are

 1.  PETSc Manual: Chapter 6 TS: Scalable ODE and DAE Solvers
 2.  petsc-3.3-p6/src/ts/examples/tutorials
which still seems  vague to me at this moment.

Can anyone tell me if there's any more specific references I can refer to as a starting point to tackle this problem?

Thanks,
Shuangshuang
