We recently found out that the coarse mesh defined by the parameters.in file for a simulation restarting from a checkpoint needs to match that of the original simulation. Even a...

Determine if parallel::fullydistributed::triangulation would be useful to support

1

deal.ii now supports fully distributed meshes (i.e. where even the coarse mesh is distributed). This is mostly relevant for calculations with complex meshes that can't be represented on a simple...

Updating the PRISMS-PF website can be labor-intensive at the moment if you want to update the manual. The manual has its own repo. Doxygen has to be run there and...

Let users control the checkpoint save/load location

We've determined that users can control the output location using the output file name option in the parameters file. However, currently the checkpoint files must be saved and loaded from...
