Thanks for your suggestion. I tried several times and think it is better to pass the whole (global) mesh and values from fipy to sfepy, the let sfepy do its own partitioning, solve mechanical equlibrium equation, then pass the whole (global) stress and strain to fipy. But I have some questions about the parallel solving in sfepy:
(1) In the interactive linear elasticity example [1], the residual will print out during solving, but not in the parallel example [2]. In this case, how could we judge if the solution converges and if the precision is good enough?
(2) In the interactive linear elasticity example [1], we can have access to the displacement, stress and strain arrays by
vec = pb.solve()
strain = pb.evaluate('ev_cauchy_strain.2.Omega(u)', mode='el_avg')
stress = pb.evaluate('ev_cauchy_stress.2.Omega(u)', mode='el_avg')
Can I get access to the whole (global) displacement, stress and strain arrays in parallel example?
