FrontISTR v5.3

• Release date: November 12, 2021
• Changes from v5.2
  • Improvements: 7
  • Specification changes: 4
  • Bug fixes: 17

Improvements¶

• #103: Make contact detection parameters specifiable as input data
• #266: Enable MKL in the Windows executable
• #339: Enable amesos of trilinos (AMG) in the windows binary
• #364: Multi-architecture CI
• #388: Illegal memory access when monitoring non-existent node with global id 0
• #387: Visualization of node numbers and element numbers
• #384: Function to specify the parameter beta in heat conduction analysis

Specification Changes¶

• #352: Inconsistencies in the naming of macro names
• #358: Reconsideration of the default settings for ML-based AMG preconditioning
• #359: Message output for when Amesos or MUMPS cannot be used with ML
• #360: Since the amount of logs regarding ML settings is large, make it simpler

Bug Fixes¶

• #125: Zero eigenvalues do not appear in the unconstrained eigenvalue analysis
• #301: Consideration of how to handle the serial version of MUMPS in FrontISTR cmake
• #329: In the friction contact analysis by the iterative method, the convergence behavior of the NR method changes significantly between serial execution and distributed execution
• #333: The mumps solver does not work in the Windows x64 executable (MPI ver.)
• #336: The binary VTK output by the windows binary cannot be read in paraview
• #340: About the divergence of the eigenvalue analysis computation results due to differences in the usage environment
• #343: Crashes when a large number of contact points (on the order of several thousand) are detected as in contact
• #350: When building the serial version, enabling MKL also enables clustermkl, resulting in a link error
• #351: When building the serial version with setup.sh, MKL is not enabled even when --with-mkl is specified
• #363: Ctrl+x does not work when launching FrontISTR with docker run
• #365: There is a defect in the Refiner in the binary distribution (Docker/Windows binary)
• #366: An error occurs when specifying contact pressure visualization file output for a model without contact
• #368: Enable parallel make when using setup.sh
• #369: Avoid error when element output is specified for !OUTPUT_VIS
• #376: Defect in name resolution in the settings for orthotropic material
• #377: The default setting of the DWITH_MPI option in cmake should originally be ON, but it is OFF
• #380: About errors due to timing inconsistencies between MPI processes regarding the creation of hecmw_vis.ini
