[Libmesh-devel] Loop subdivision surface elements

2014-02-21 Thread Roman Vetter
Dear libMesh devs, the roots of the finite element method lie in structural analysis and the need to solve elasticity problems. Thin shells with a stretching and a bending rigidity are an extremely important special case. The bending term requires C1 finite elements which have been hard to cons

Others may also be interested in this, but I have a keen interest. I'd be happy to look at the patch, but, even better, would be for you to open a pull request on GitHub (https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh) so that, if we decide to integrate the patch, we have a commit history of your development s

Agreed! And if you're not comfortable generating the pull request I could help - if you send along the patch I can try and break it up into number of smaller changes on a new branch, and we can start discussion. -Ben On Feb 21, 2014, at 10:20 AM, Paul T. Bauman wrote: > Others may also be in

I'll also make it run a "make check" - I forgot to mention that part. We can expand from there later... On Friday, February 21, 2014, Derek Gaston wrote: > All, > > I got pissed off at all other continuous integration capabilities so I > wrote my own. It's currently hosted at moosebuild.com (y
