Dear PETSc gurus,
Thanks to the help of Matthew, I have been able to reproduce in PETSc some
tests of the paper of Peter Brune et al. entitled "Composing scalable
nonlinear algebraic solvers", with special attention to the elasticity test.
I have also tried to reproduce it in a widely used mechanics finite element
solver and I cannot obtain the same results, mainly because of my lack of
undestanding of the boundary conditions and of the loading.
According to the paper, I undestand that the edges in red in the attached
image are fully clamped. If I do that, I do observe a rotation of the grey
face (see attached image).
If I clamp the over-mentioned edges plus I forbid the normal displacement
of the grey face, I get a quite similar warped shape but the details of the
deformation near the clamped faces are very different
In the paper, the loading is defined as a volume force applied to the whole
structure whereas in Wriggers' book, it is defined as a nodal force.
Could you please give me some details on these points?
Best regards,
Nicolas
