Hi Matt,

 

thanks fort he answer and clarification. Then I’ll work around this issue in python, where I set the options.

 

Best,

Sebastian

Dear Matt,

 

thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately, for me these extra options do not have any effect, I still get the “u” and “p” fieldnames. Also, this would not help me to get rid of the “c” fieldname – on that level of the fieldsplit I am basically using your approach already, and still it does show up. The output of the -ksp_view is unchanged, so that I do not attach it here again. Maybe I misunderstood you?

 

Oh, we make an exception for single fields, since we think you would want to use the name. I have to make an extra option to shut off naming.

 

   Thanks,

 

     Matt

 

Thanks for the help and best regards,

Hello everyone,

 

I have a question regarding the naming convention using PETSc’s PCFieldsplit. I have been following https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/petsc-users/2019-January/037262.html to create a DMShell with FEniCS in order to customize PCFieldsplit for my application. 

I am using the following options, which work nicely for me:

 

-ksp_type fgmres

-pc_type fieldsplit

-pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0, 1

-pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 2

-pc_fieldsplit_type additive

-fieldsplit_0_ksp_type fgmres

-fieldsplit_0_pc_type fieldsplit

-fieldsplit_0_pc_fieldsplit_type schur

-fieldsplit_0_pc_fieldsplit_schur_fact_type full

-fieldsplit_0_pc_fieldsplit_schur_precondition selfp

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_u_ksp_type preonly

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_u_pc_type lu

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_p_ksp_type cg

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_p_ksp_rtol 1e-14

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_p_ksp_atol 1e-30

-fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_p_pc_type icc

-fieldsplit_0_ksp_rtol 1e-14

-fieldsplit_0_ksp_atol 1e-30

-fieldsplit_0_ksp_monitor_true_residual

-fieldsplit_c_ksp_type preonly

-fieldsplit_c_pc_type lu

-ksp_view

 

By default, we use the field names, but you can prevent this by specifying the fields by hand, so

 

-fieldsplit_0_pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0
-fieldsplit_0_pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 1

 

should remove the 'u' and 'p' fieldnames. It is somewhat hacky, but I think easier to remember than

some extra option.

 

  Thanks,

 

     Matt

 

Note that this is just an academic example (sorry for the low solver tolerances) to test the approach, consisting of a Stokes equation and some concentration equation (which is not even coupled to Stokes, just for testing).

Completely analogous to https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/petsc-users/2019-January/037262.html, I translate my IS’s to a PETSc Section, which is then supplied to a DMShell and assigned to a KSP. I am not so familiar with the code or how / why this works, but it seems to do so perfectly. I name my sections with petsc4py using

 

section.setFieldName(0, "u")

section.setFieldName(1, "p")

section.setFieldName(2, "c")

 

However, this is also reflected in the way I can access the fieldsplit options from the command line. My question is: Is there any way of not using the FieldNames specified in python but use the index of the field as defined with “-pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0, 1” and “-pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 2”, i.e., instead of the prefix “fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_u” I want to write “fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_0”, instead of “fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_p” I want to use “fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_1”, and instead of “fieldsplit_c” I want to use “fieldsplit_1”. Just changing the names of the fields to

 

section.setFieldName(0, "0")

section.setFieldName(1, "1")

section.setFieldName(2, "2")

 

does obviously not work as expected, as it works for velocity and pressure, but not for the concentration – the prefix there is then “fieldsplit_2” and not “fieldsplit_1”. In the docs, I have found https://petsc.org/main/manualpages/PC/PCFieldSplitSetFields/ which seems to suggest that the fieldname can potentially be supplied, but I don’t see how to do so from the command line. Also, for the sake of completeness, I attach the output of the solve with “-ksp_view” below. 

 

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,

Sebastian
