Dear Petsc users,
I am currently dealing with finite element fracture analysis using phase
field model. To perform such simulations, I have to develop a staggered
solver : mechanical problem is solved at constant damage and damage
problem is solved at constant displacement.
I created 2 TS solver and 2 DMPLEX for each "physics".
Each physics's system is built using TSSetIFunction and TSSetIJacobian
with associated functions.
The TS calls are performed with TSSTEP in order to respect staggered
solver scheme in iterative loops.
My question : Is the using of TSSTEP function adapted to a staggered
solver ? How to use this function in my framework ? Have you got any
other suggestions or advices ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
