Re: [Libmesh-users] Periodic BCs for unstructured mesh

2018-08-10 Thread Bailey Curzadd
I see what you mean. In the meantime, I worked out how to automatically generate meshes where the boundary faces have a matching discretization, and I'm trying to work with PeriodicBoundary. However, I always get a "Periodic boundary neighbor not found" error. I thought the matched-face meshing mig

In that sense of "unstructured", strong enforcement of periodic boundaries would lead to "locking". Imagine piecewise linear or bilinear elements, with nodes like: AB--C--D--E-F on one side of the boundary and G-H---I-J---K---L on the other. Side AB forces GH and HI to have the
