Unicorn

Adaptive mesh question

Asked by Andrew E Slaughter

Does Unicorn offer the ability to both coarsen and refine the mesh? I am looking for a FE tool capable of tracking a phase-change front, where the mesh is fine around the front and coarse else where.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Unicorn has an interface to MAdLib (http://sites.uclouvain.be/madlib/) which allows local coarsening and refinement of the mesh through the MeshAdaptInterface class. However, this only supports serial computation (one processor). The support for parallel coarsening and refinement is ongoing work, and will hopefully happen later this year.

You can find the code for the MAdLib interface in the (older) serial branch: bzr branch lp:unicorn/stable

Best,
  Johan
