Dear Phuoc,
Do you compute some gradient quantities on the finite element
nodes ? If not, it should not pose any problem since using the
generic assembly, the computation are located on the Gauss points
which are not located on the nodes.
can you
extract the smallest possible program on which the error
occurs ?
Best regards,
Yves

Dear
Yves,
Sorry I email you again on this topics. In fact, the generic
assembly did some computation on pyramid elements but the output
is 'nan'. On elements of others types (of the mixed mesh), the
output is fine.
Please let me know if you have an idea. Thanks.
Best regards,
Phuoc

Dear Yves,
That's great! It's indeed working now. Thank you very much for

Dear Phuoc,
The problem is indeed the same, to compute the location of
gauss points on a neighbour element, the inversion of the
geometric transformation is called. This inversion used a
Newton algorithm whose starting point is a node of the element
... (function find_initial_guess in bgeot_geotrans_inv.cc).
I changed a bit the starting point, so it should work now. But
this is clear that the fact that the transformation is
singular at the pyramid tip is a difficulty.

Dear Yves,
Thank you very much for your help.
Now it worked when computing the outer faces. But I faced
another problem of this mixed mesh. In fact, I'd like to
compute the stress jump at the inner faces using generic
assembly, and GetFEM++ showed an error like this:
"
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/getfem/getfem.py",
line 5591, in asm_generic
return getfem('asm', 'generic', mim, order, _expression_,
region, model, *args)
RuntimeError: (Getfem::InterfaceError) -- Error in
getfem_generic_assembly_compile_and_exec.cc, line 3887
virtual int
getfem::ga_instruction_neighbour_transformation_call::exec():
Geometric transformation inversion has failed in neighbour
transformation
"
So, as you said, this error comes from geometric
transformation of pyramid elements. Do you have an idea how
to fix it?
Best regards,
Phuoc

Dear Phuoc,
The problem come from the fact that the test is made on
the mean unit normal vector on a face. This mean unit
normal vector is computed by averaging the unit normal
vector on each geometrical node of a face. Unfortunately,
for a pyramid element, the transformation is singular on
the geometrical nodes.
I replaced the mean of normal vector by the normal vector
on the mean of geometrical nodes of the face. It fixes the
problem. (I push the change on the master branch).
Best regards,
Yves

Dear Yves,
Please find the mesh attached.
Thank you for your help.

Dear Phuoc,
No, I see no reason. If you can just send me the mesh
in a format readable by GetFEM, I could check what is
wrong.

Dear Getfem-users,
I have a problem with computing the outer faces when
using a mixed mesh (having tetras, hexa, prisms and
pyramids).
The error is:
face_left = m.outer_faces_with_direction([0, 0.,
-1.0], 0.01)
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/getfem/getfem.py",

Please let me know if you have any idea. Thank you.
