[deal.II] dynamic impact simulations

2019-05-01 Thread Nico Bombace
Dear all, After some time using Abaqus/Explicit, I decided to start to code my library because it would give more liberty in terms of implementation of new algorithms. I am starting the deal.ii video lectures and tutorials and I have some questions regarding a particular class of problems,

[deal.II] scratch_data_03.cc from test/meshworker produces strange results when refining adaptively

I wanted to test the new ScratchData- and CopyData-Classes for DG-subfaces, and thus used Test 3 with a locally refined grid. The result shows significant distortions at the transitions between refinement levels. Should that be, or is that a bug? Or is it just the missing handling of subfaces
