Hi, guys, I have a LinearImplicitSystem, solved with a sequential of different force vectors (rhs). Actually I defined different 'Fe' assemble function using a 'loadcase' indicator. In main function, I set the 'loadcase' value, call system.solve(), then es.reinit(), set a new 'loadcase' value, and solve() again. But I found that for some 'loadcase', the solver converged badly, like: loadcase1: Linear solver converged at step: 10736, final residual: 2.00331e-21 loadcase2: Linear solver converged at step: 8549, final residual: 2.10685e-21 loadcase3: Linear solver converged at step: 8, final residual: 1.38269e-07 loadcase4: Linear solver converged at step: 0, final residual: 0.463112 loadcase5: Linear solver converged at step: 0, final residual: 0.463112 loadcase6: Linear solver converged at step: 0, final residual: 0.463112 In loadcase3, Linear solver converged at step 8, final resudual is not small enough. It's very strange that the loadcases after this didn't run? (converged at step 0?) The results are wrong and unbelievable. But if I solve loadcase3 after all the other loadcases, then loadcase 4,5,6 will be all right. Don't know why? Can I mannually control the final resudual tolerance? I did set a parameter in es: es.parameters.set<unsigned int> ("linear solver maximum iterations") = 20000; es.parameters.set<Real> ("linear solver tolerance") = TOLERANCE; Thanks for your help! -- Cai Yuanwu 蔡园武 Dept. of Engineering Mechanics, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China |

Hey Yuanwu, Can you tell us what kind of linear solver options you are using (the method, preconditioner options passed at runtime) ? If you are using the same stiffness matrix (K) and just changing the rhs (F), then you might actually be better of just using the LU preconditioner for one load and reusing it for the others. Thanks.

Yuanwu, To set the lu preconditioner type just add the following to the command you use to execute: -pc_type lu . If you want to use some other kind of preconditioner you can just change lu to whatever type you want (ilu, jacobi etc) I believe the default is jacobi. Warning: If your problem sizes are really large then lu might take a while. Just try it out first and then you can try ilu if its too slow. Thanks.

Well, if you use lu, then there should be no 'residual' provided the matrix is invertible.

Good. Anything else I should set in es or system in my code to use the same matrix K for different Fe, besides 'pc_type lu' in command? Temporarily I assemble K for each Fe. But if I use LU, there's no need to assemble K for multiple times. 2012/8/29 Vikram Garg <vik...@gm...>: > Well, if you use lu, then there should be no 'residual' provided the matrix > is invertible. > -- Cai Yuanwu 蔡园武 Dept. of Engineering Mechanics, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China |

Yuanwu, There is a variable of system that you can set to use the same Ke, its called assemble_before_solve, so simply set this variable to false using the equation systems object you have. That will take care of the multiple assembles. To avoid the multiple solves, please use the following steps: 1) // Get the system's linear solver object to set the preconditioner reuse flag LinearSolver<Number> *linear_solver = system.get_linear_solver(); 2) // Set the reuse_preconditioner variable to true linear_solver->reuse_preconditioner(true); Give that a try.
