Adaptative meshing

+3 votes

Hello,

I am dealing with a non-linear problem in hyperelasticity involving very large deformation. So the elements rapidly become excessively distorted which causes convergence problems.

What are the current tools available within FEniCS to perform remeshing ? I found a link to : https://github.com/meshadaptation/pragmatic on this forum. Has someone experience and examples with it ?

Otherwise, are there other possibilities (alternatives to remeshing) to overcome this difficulty, like distortion control ?

Many thanks in advance,

Claire
