1) Understanding the structure of the documentation: It is highly non-trivial to browse through that.
It is; it's a half-decent reference but not a tutorial. The closest thing we have to a tutorial is the examples, and even there you have to skim descriptions and skip over the ones focused on features you don't care about.
I'm going to describe my problem and ask you to direct me to several relevant structures for me to get familiar with. 2) The problem I want to tackle is a combination of the Poisson equation and the Heat Equation. For a given time step we solve \nabla V = Source and use this to evolve to evolve the Heat-like equation i \partial \phi / \partial t = f(\phi, \phi', \phi'') + V \phi where \phi is a complex function, naturally. 3) I noted that libmesh has the 2 problems solved separately in examples/introduction/introduction_ex4 and somewhere in fem_systems. If this is useful, I'd have my problem half solved. All I'm looking for is some guidelines on how to start tackling the problem with my moderate knowledge of C++ and enormous difficulty in browsing through the documentation.
Two questions about your problem: Do you want to solve it decoupled (e.g. if Source is independent of phi, so you can get an exact value of V at each time step before solving for phi) or (weakly or fully?) coupled? Do you want to integrate with implicit time stepping, explicit, or both? --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list Libmesh-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
