Member Function Documentation

initLinearSolver()

int GmpFemProcess::initLinearSolver ( lua_State *  L )

private

Creates and initializes a linear fem solver, intended to be used on a loop as described bellow. Receives the same set of parameters of the solve() call. On success, returns a opaque solver object.

Intended use:

local solver = fem.initLinearSolver({'physics'}, 'numeric_solver', solverOptions)
while convergence_condition do
  fem.linearStep(solver)
  local r, max, avg = fem.linearResidual(solver, true)
end

initTransientSolver()

int GmpFemProcess::initTransientSolver ( lua_State *  L )

private

Creates and initializes a transient fem solver, intended to be used on a loop as described bellow. Receives the same set of parameters of the solve() call plus a parameter defining if the problem is nonlinear or not. On success, returns a opaque solver object.

Intended use:

-- Usage for linear problems
local solver = fem.initTransientSolver({'physics'}, 'numeric_solver', solverOptions)
while time < last_time do
  fem.transientStep(solver, dt, [updateDof])
end

-- Usage for non linear problems
local solver = fem.initTransientSolver({'physics'}, 'numeric_solver', solverOptions, true)
while time < last_time do
  local iter = 1
  while convergence_condition do
    fem.transientLinearStep(solver, dt, iter, [updateDof])
    ...
    local r, max, avg = fem.transientLinearResidual(solver, true)
    iter = iter + 1
  end
end

linearResidual()

int GmpFemProcess::linearResidual ( lua_State *  L )

private

Calculates the error residual associated with the last linear step calculated by a call to linearStep(). See comments on initLinearSolver() for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as first parameter the solver created by initLinearSolver().

This function returns the L2 norm of the residual vector. If a second parameter is present and true, it also returns the maximum and the average values among each of the values in the residual vector. The default is false since this option only makes sense if all degrees of freedom in the result space are comparable.

linearStep()

int GmpFemProcess::linearStep ( lua_State *  L )

private

Runs a new step of the linear solver created by the call to initLinearSolver(). See comments o that function for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as parameter the solver created by initLinearSolver().

NLgeostatic()

int GmpFemProcess::NLgeostatic ( lua_State *  L )

private

Runs a Geostatic step to initialize the in-situ conditions.

solve()

int GmpFemProcess::solve ( lua_State *  L )

private

The fem.solve() process implementation.

This function expects to receive as parameters in the Lua stack:

1) A string with the physical method id or a table with multiple method ids. All methods must share the same mesh 2) A string with the solver id that will be used to solve the linear system 3) An optional table with several different solver options regarding printing intermediate matrices and the mode used to handle dofs

solverInit()

int GmpFemProcess::solverInit ( lua_State *  L )

private

Creates and initializes a nonlinear static fem solver, intended to be used on a loop as described bellow. Receives the same set of parameters of the solve() call plus a parameter defining if the problem is nonlinear or not. On success, returns a opaque solver object.

Intended use:

-- Usage for nonlinear static problems
local solver = fem.init({'physics'}, 'numeric_solver', solverOptions)
while time < last_time do
  fem.step(solver, dt, [updateDof])
end

solverStep()

int GmpFemProcess::solverStep ( lua_State *  L )

private

Runs a new step of the nonLinearSolver created by the call to init(). See comments on that function for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as parameter the solver created by init() + the time step For solvers created with nonlinear = false only.

transientLinearResidual()

int GmpFemProcess::transientLinearResidual ( lua_State *  L )

private

Calculates the error residual associated with the last linear step calculated by a call to transientLinearStep(). See comments on initTransientSolver() for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as first parameter the solver created by initTransientSolver().

This function returns the L2 norm of the residual vector. If a second parameter is present and true, it also returns the maximum and the average values among each of the values in the residual vector. The default is false since this option only makes sense if all degrees of freedom in the result space are comparable.

transientLinearStep()

int GmpFemProcess::transientLinearStep ( lua_State *  L )

private

Runs a new step of the transient solver created by the call to initTransientSolver(). See comments on that function for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as parameter the solver created by initTransientSolver() + the time step + the current nonlinear iteartion number. For solvers created with nonlinear = true only.

transientStep()

int GmpFemProcess::transientStep ( lua_State *  L )

private

Runs a new step of the transient solver created by the call to initTransientSolver(). See comments on that function for the intended use case.

Expects to receive as parameter the solver created by initTransientSolver() + the time step For solvers created with nonlinear = false only.
