Re: [Getfem-users] How to apply hydraulic pressure on the boundary

Dear Zhenghuai,

It indicates that an element has a non-invertible transformation (a completely 
flat element).

It should be removed before doing any computation.

Best regards,

Yves

Hi, Andriy and Yves and Konstantinos,



I use gmsh to build a mesh and import in getfem. In the code, I only add the

getfem::add_isotropic_linearized_elasticity_brick(model, mim_1, "u_1", 
"lambda_1", "mu_1");

and

getfem::add_Dirichlet_condition_with_multipliers(model, mim_1, "u_1", mf_u_1, 
total_outer_bounday_1,"Dirichlet_value" );



When I try to solve the equations, I got

The mesh I loaded has an irregular outer boundary as below. When I change the 
mesh to a simple rectangle outer boundary mesh (also from gsmh), the test 
program runs ok. Can you please advise,  what normally does this error message 
indicates? I suppose something is wrong with the irregular boundary mesh. Thank 
you very much
