Hi Edscott,

the momentum balance for the geomechanics is formulated in an incremental way. 
That meens it only considers changes with respect to the initial state. 
Nonetheless, the initial stress state matters for post-processing routines such 
a the evaluation of the total principal stresses and the failure criteria.

I have another suspicion for your troubles: The standard test in the 
2.12-release uses the el2p-amgbackend, which seems to cause problems for some 
cases. For that reason, I switched to a direct solver (SuperLU) for my 
examples. Maybe this is reason why your problem now works, too?

One more thing: I managed to implement Mandel's problem this week for the fully 
coupled version of the code. It works fine and reproduces the analytical 
solution quite well. I was trying to implement it also for the decoupled 
version, but I ran into some problems. Anyway, I will commit the fully coupled 
version to the Beck2019a module on Monday (I am out of office today), so you 
can look into it.


Cheers,

Martin

One further question, the force that presses down on the grid from the top, is 
that not a boundary condition?

I see from the code that it is used to set the  initial total stress field 
(isotropic, lithostatic),

 (i.e. stress[] = brineDensity_ * porosity * gravity * (depthBOR_ - 
globalPos[dim-1])
                  + (1 - porosity) * rockDensity * gravity * (depthBOR_ - 
globalPos[dim-1]);).

If I do not use the force to set a Neumann boundary condition for uy, and 
instead use the values Beck2019 uses (all Neumann values set to zero),
the initialization of the  El2P_TestProblem problem runs just fine with data 
from the Sangnimnuan 2018 paper (injection episode turned off).

If I am not wrong about this, then my whole trouble was with that misleading 
fact.

Code from the fullycoupled examples has been most useful, and the decoupled is 
very interesting. And I thank Bernd and Beck very much.

Best regards,

Edscott
