4. Results#

In the 2 tables below, the maximum relative error associated with the double projection was noted for the various scenarios: straight or curved edges, types of cells, linear or quadratic field,…

When the projection error is less than 1.e-9, the box is colored yellow. The projection is then considered to be « perfect ».

Notes:

The combination « curved edges + mesh size LIN » doesn’t exist!

Degree QUAD + doesn’t exist for TETRA/PYRAM
