[Getdp] Error

Hi,

I've just run your files. In order  speed up mesh generation and simulation I increased
the mesh size:
Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFactor = 0.2;
There was no error. Here is a picture of the result:

Maybe you ran out of memory with the extremely fine mesh you have.
You can start GetDP manually from the command line/terminal. Then PETSc usually gives more detailed information
about the error. The command you can take from the Gmsh message console.
As it seems that the heat flux is only propagating in x-direction, you could probably also do a 1D simulation which reduces
the computational effort drastically.

Best regards,
Michael

Subject: [Getdp] Error

Hello,

I got a problem with running GetDP using the Finite Element Method for a double gazed window, it says: "GetDP - PETSc error: (null)" after a long computing time. Could you tell me why?

Thank you
