Should I use an iterative or direct solver (FEA)?

Want to dive into some the solvers available on SimScale for FEA:

Direct Solvers

  • Multfront
  • MUMPS
  • LDLT

Iterative

  • PETSc
  • GCPC

@ajaybharish explores the black box of numerics and related solvers in this blog post, you can check it out here:
