Hello,
I am trying to use the approach in inter_element.cc . I have a
triangle mesh of a circle. The interface between the domains is also a
circle.
In the function, compute_on_gauss_point, I need to access to normals,
as I want to calculate the jump in the normal direction for a vector
variable. However, it seems something is amiss in calculation of
normals. E.g. the code
cout << "convex = " << cv1 << " face = " << f1<< " normal = "<<
pgt1->normals()[f1] << " points = ";
for (bgeot::size_type pt = 0;pt < 3; ++pt) {
cout << mf.linked_mesh().points_of_convex(cv1)[pt];
}
pgt1->normals()[f1]gives the normal of the reference element (pgt is the geometric transformation. If you want the normal of the real element you should multiply this normal by ctx.B() to the left.
gives output, convex = 0 face = 1 normal = [-1, 0] points = [-0.5, 0.866025][-0.288353, 0.385477][1.77042e-12, 1] As can be seen, the normal is calculated incorrectly. Can someone please tell me what's amiss? I also wanted to discuss my approach to the problem, and was wondering if its the best one. I have a system with a vector and a scalar variable. I could see two ways to go about it in getfem. 1) Use bricks 2) Form my own system, with a fem having 3 (2 for vector, 1 for scalar) degree of freedom's per vertex. This requires using generic_assembly. 3) Use 2 fems, one for vector, one for scalar, form 4 matrices using generic_assembly, then add these into one big matrix.
The three approaches are convenient, yes. If you use bricks, you will have anyway to define a brick for the coupling. So 1) and 3) are not so different (just, the use of bricks allows to go quickly not redefining how to prescribe the Dirichlet condition for instance).
I followed approach 2. I wanted to impose dirichlet conditions strongly (i.e. use "getfem::assembling_Dirichlet_condition"), and I couldnt see how I could do this with approach 1 and 3 above. It seems I have to use a dirichlet condition brick, which uses lagrange multipliers to enforce dirichlet conditions. Am I right, i.e. if I want to use strong dirichlet conditions, then using approch 2 is the way to go ?
It depends. If you want to prescribe an homogeneous (i.e. zero) Dirichlet condition, you can also use a partial_mesh_fem to eleminate the corresponding degrees of freedom. But may be the approach 2 is the simplest.
Yves.
So far, I have been able to get my approach working without the jump condition. Now I want to incorporate the jump condition, but thats presenting some issues. Will it be possible for someone (e.g Yves or Ronan or anyone else) to look into my code if I am still unable to get this to work?

In the code for getfem++/contrib/inter_element_test, there is piece of code which I cant fully understand, and I havent been able to figure it from the documentation. The relevant lines of code are: const base_matrix& B = ctx1.B(); gmm::mult(B, pgt1->normals()[f1], up); scalar_type norm = gmm::vect_norm2(up); scalar_type J = ctx1.J() * norm; What is the matrix B? Also, does J give the determinant of Jacobian transformation for the face (if so, why)?B is the transpose of the inverse of the gradient of the geometric transformation (pseudo-inverse if the element have a lower dimension than the mesh) see the documentation pages http://download.gna.org/getfem/doc/getfem_project/getfem_project_4.html#id5 http://download.gna.org/getfem/doc/getfem_project/getfem_project_7.html ctx1.J() is the jacobian of the transformation of the whole element. Multiplied by the norm of the normal to the face, it gives the jacobian of the transformation of the face, yes.Also, on a related note, I am planning to use the technique in this file to implement the jump integral. Yves mentioned the method in crack.cc, which uses mortars and some sort of constraints matrix, which I havent looked into yet. Is there a reason to prefer one of the two approaches?It depends of what you need to do. If you have a single mesh with to regions and a discontinuity between the two regions, the faster is probably the method used in crack.cc. Regards, Yves.Thanks, -Jehanzeb 2009/7/1 Ronan Perrussel <address@hidden>:Hello, it was not fully straightforward but you can find an example in: getfem++/contrib/inter_element_test, if you have matching meshes on the interface. If not it is certainly possible but I am not the expert to explain how to do. I hope it helps, Best regards, Ronan Jehanzeb Hameed a écrit :Hello, I am investigating the possibility of using getfem for implementing a 2 domain problem, with an interface between the domains. I want to use continuous lagrange elements on each domain, and a jump condition at the interface. The jump condition will take the form (u_1 - u_2, v_1 - v_2), where u_1 and v_1 and test and trial functions for domain 1, and u_2 and v_2 are test and trial functions for domain 2. The integral (u_1 - u_2, v_1 - v_2) is only over the interface between the domains. Can this be done relatively easily in getfem?
