Hi David, the focus of my question was about the restart , specifically. Why did it cause such peaks in the pressure and flow profiles (see red box on the plot)? The peaks wouldn't have been created if I hadn't stopped the simulation with "STOP_SIM" (I did a test on that). And secondly, I am using t...

Hello! May I ask a semi-related question? Is it normal for the solvers from svFSI to struggle with convergence (see the lsIt column) during the first timesteps immediately after a restart? Also, is it common for the pressures and flows in the "B_FS_....txt" files to exhibit sudden, strange peaks and...

Is it then possible to simulate within svFSI three or more components, such as a plaque within the vessel wall (or a stent), in addition to the fluid and the wall itself? I have created a preliminary mesh with three components (fluid+wall+plaque) and an input file. But before further assessments I w...

Ok, so there are only the abovementioned ones thanks

One last little question:
How are the "Def_Grad" array components saved? ( in struct simulations results for example)
Just to make sure the corresponding components are linked to the right array positions
(see figure)

Thank you!

Thank you really much! :) Another thing: is there a way in svFSI to set (some or all) the solver parameters available in svsolver (see figure)? For example Residual criteria, residual control, step construction, ... as far as I know, the available settings are: Add equation: FSI { Coupled: ... Min i...

Is there a way to "gently" interrupt a rigid wall simulation launched from terminal (svSolver)? as the command "touch n-proc/STOP_SIM" for svFSI does. Because sometimes my simulation get stuck due to failed connection between processors I think (see figure) and I usually press "Ctrl+C" to end the pr...

Hello everyone, i wanted to have a feedback on HGO (decoupled) material parameter settings: As I set: HGO-{ a4: / b4: / a6: / b6: kappa: (k=0) } Is the parameter mu appearing in the formulation (see figure) derived from "Elasticity modulus" (E) and "Poisson ratio" keywords so that mu=E/(2*(1+poisson...

All right! Thank you David

Thank you David! Sorry for the delay, Exactly, that's why i was triying to import the mesh as a new model! As suggested here (https://simvascular.github.io/docssvFSI.html#app_fluid_mesh) if you import the ".vtp" file extracted from the solid mesh and use it to generate the new volume mesh (of the fl...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it's possible to mesh the fluid domain in an FSI mesh with a boundary layer, after creating the solid wall (using Boundary layer as an extrusion method in the first place) - see "img1.png" I'll explain myself better: 1) create the solid mesh by extruding outward the sur...
