Elmer/Ice courses - Material

Since 2008, a number of Elmer/Ice courses have been instructed. In this page, you will find the presentation and the material used during these courses. Because Elmer/Ice is evolving and some errors in the presentations have been found, it is recommended to start with the latest material.

We will not spend time troubleshooting not working Elmer/Ice installations at the place. We expect you to bring along a working Elmer installation.

This can be achieved by either…

• installing the virtual appliance (preferred solution). Instructions can be found here.
• installing Elmer on your computer (mind, that you need a working elmerf90 script in this installation). Following instructions for compilation can be useful. There also is a complete video instruction of installation of Elmer on Ubuntu 20 on Elmer YouTube channel.
• using a remote desktop provided by CSC - if the above mentioned methods do not work out, we can provide you with temporal access to CSC's server via a remote desktop - please, contact thomas.zwinger@csc.fi if this is necessary

MIND: We also will need python, Gmsh and ParaView during the course (all of them being uploaded on the virtual appliance).

We also will invite registered participants to join a to the course dedicated Slack channel. The channel is meant to exchange in case of troubles before and during the course, but also can be used to discuss and give feedback after the event (we will leave it open).

If you want to start at your own pace, we also suggest to go through the simple 2D flowline example from 2020 online course before the course. This is also a good way to test your Elmer/Ice installation.
