[Getdp] Why this irrelevant result ?

I am really not not sure, but maybe you need to split your last Galerkin term:

      Galerkin { [ h[] * Dof{T} , {T} ] ;
                 In SA ; Jacobian JSur ; Integration I ; }
      Galerkin { [ -h[] *  T_ext[] , {T} ] ;
                 In SA ; Jacobian JSur ; Integration I ; }

As well, you might need to expand the Region for the other Galerkin:
      Galerkin { [ lambda[] * Dof{d T} , {d T} ] ;  
                 In Region[{D,SA}] ; Jacobian JVol ; Integration I ; }

And with that:

Jacobian {
  { Name JVol ;
    Case { 
	{ Region SA ; Jacobian Sur ; }
      { Region All ; Jacobian Vol ; }
    }
  }
  { Name JSur ;
    Case { 
      { Region All ; Jacobian Sur ; }
    }
  }
}

however, this is all untested..

nice greetings,
Bernhard

Betreff: [Getdp] Why this irrelevant result ?


Hello,

I am trying to use GetDP. This is a bit difficult and out of my usual 
field.

I succeeded in solving simple situations but I face a problem with that 
one : a metal rod conducting heat, the temperature is imposed at one end 
and there is convection on the other faces.

I get an irrelevant result. 

The corresponding files are at the end of this message (they are short) : 
barre.geo and barre.pro

Could someone tell what exactly is wrong in my files ? 

I believe this has to do with how convection is taken into account at the 
surface... but can't see what is wrong.

Have a nice day,

Olivier C.
