I can view the mesh in Gmsh. NekMesh gives the following error when I try to convert: NekMesh -v cyl.msh out.xml [InputGmsh] Reading Gmsh file: 'cyl.msh' [InputGmsh] Finished reading mesh. [InputGmsh] - Element dimension : 0 [InputGmsh] - Space dimension : 2 [InputGmsh] - No. of nodes : 0 [InputGmsh] - No. of 0D elements : 0 [InputGmsh] - No. of boundary elements : 0 [InputGmsh] - Elapsed time: 0.0542657s.

AeroForces filter calculation in 3DH1D problem with XYofZ mapping

Or should I use another filter or another way to obtain the temporal history of forces in this case? Thanks in advance. Best regards,Paulo Henrique

isocontour Module

If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list https://spam.ic.ac.uk/SpamConsole/Senders.aspx to disable email stamping for this address. ******************* Hi, I was trying to use the isocontour module of FieldConvert, and first tried a very simple case. When I load the dat file to ParaView using Tecplot Viewer, I get the whole mesh and the fields with it. So, it is not a set of points of the isocontour (should be a set of lines in my case). I also checked the dat file, the first line is Variables = x, y, u, v, p. Is it possible that the module does not work for 2D? The command I am using is: FieldConvert -v -m isocontour:fieldid=0:fieldvalue=0.0:smooth:globalcondense:removesmallcontour=100 timeSteps/mesh.xml system/session.xml timeSteps/chkFiles/mesh_135.chk/ out.dat or FieldConvert -v -m isocontour:fieldid=0:fieldvalue=0.0 timeSteps/mesh.xml system/session.xml timeSteps/chkFiles/mesh_135.chk/ out.dat I check the contours from ParaView, and what I am trying to get (u=0 lines) exists. I would be happy if you can help me with this. PS: On page 121 of the user guide (5.2.0), there is a typo: "5.6.22 Isocontour extraction: iscontour module" (should be isocontour module). Kind regards, Ilteber

If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list https://spam.ic.ac.uk/SpamConsole/Senders.aspx to disable email stamping for this address. ******************* Hello all, Is there a study on the optimum amount of nodes per core in Nektar++? What is the recommended number of elements per core when using the solvers in parallel, and how is this affected by the order of the solution used? The same goes for memory used too: what is the recommended memory when using Nektar++ in parallel? Thank you in advance for the help! Best regards, Ilteber -- İlteber R. Özdemir

Errors in running Comp Flow simulation with 'nummode=1'

However, it appears that for order=1, the simulation crashes immediately with the error log attached here. I also attach the mesh and sessions file in the ZIP folder for reference. Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated. -- Varun Kumar Doctoral candidate (Engineering) 170 Hope St Brown University
