Even when the initial condition exceed 1 the system is able to converge to the right solution with no problem. But with first order approximation the system doesn't work. Ernesto Em 2012-12-05 16:51, Roy Stogner escreveu: > On Wed, 5 Dec 2012, ernestol wrote: > >> I will try to set the nodal va

I am using Lagrange approximation. I asked about that example just to use as a reference of problem that use second order and to change to first order. My model is a Cahn-Hilliard mixed linear formulation. I already have a code running with first order approximation. (not using libmesh) Now I

Dear all, I am just starting using libmesh and trying to implement the Cahn-Hilliard equation. I already had implemented that by myself and now I am trying to do with libmesh to compare the results and futher use adaptative mesh. The problem is that when I use an initial condition like a X wit
