Hi

I am solving an elasticity problem with the following iterative solver options:

-ksp_monitor_true_residual
-ksp_converged_reason
-ksp_type cg
-log_view
-mg_levels_esteig_ksp_type cg
-mg_levels_ksp_chebyshev_esteig_steps 50
-mg_levels_ksp_type chebyshev
-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi
-pc_type gamg
-snes_linesearch_type basic
-snes_atol 1e-6
-ksp_atol 1e-7
-ksp_rtol 1e-9
-ksp_norm_type unpreconditioned

I am passing the rigid body bodes to the KSP solver. There is a noticeable 
increase in the number of iterations when the size ratio between biggest and 
smallest element increases. This problem is also solving for two materials with 
a high contrast in their properties, so this could have an effect, but the 
iterations don’t increase as much when the mesh is uniform. I wonder if there 
is some information about the mesh that could be passed to the preconditioner 
to improve its performance.

Thanks
Miguel
