Dear all,

I am using soildDisplacementFoam to implement ModifiledCamClay model. For this purpose, I need to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors using the utility preimplemented in OF, i.e., eigenValues(sigma[celli]) and eigenVectors(sigma[celli]). However, I will always have problems like this for some cells: complex eigenvalues detected for symmTensor. Due to this problem, calculated eigenvalues are set up to zero. Here is the log file with this problem:

part 1:

sigma_previous= (-150000 0 0 -150000 0 -150000) end
sigmaD= (-22.715 0.268961 -0.0164544 -17.9137 0.0715722 -18.7927) end
sigma[celli]= (-150023 0.268961 -0.0164544 -150018 0.0715722 -150019) end
eigenValues== (-150023 -150019 -150018) end
eigenVectors[]s= (0.998372 -0.0567947 0.00531486 -0.00883938 -0.0566245 0.998356 0.0526201 0.996743 0.0611068) end
yield[celli]= 2.97148e+06 end
pc_stress[celli]= -150000 end
p_stress[celli]= -150020 end
q_stress[celli]= 4.454 end

part 2:

sigma_previous= (-150000 0 0 -150000 0 -150000) end
sigmaD= (-22.7003 0.268504 -0.00720373 -17.8241 0.0178865 -18.8122) end
sigma[celli]= (-150023 0.268504 -0.00720373 -150018 0.0178865 -150019) end

As you can see, for part 1, it is correct, however, for part 2, I have the issue. I calculate eigenvalues for this matrix using matlab, it will not give any errors. Instead, Matlab gives me real eigenvalues. I have searched forum to find out answers for this issue. It seems that nobody has solved this problem. Therefore, I started this thread.

I simulated a cylindrical soil, which has three patches, top, surrounding, and bottom. If I use fixedvalue for D (displacement) at the top and bottom, tractiondisplacement for the surrounding, it will not give that error. However, if I use tractiondisplacement for top or bottom, I will have this error.

I appreciate if anybody can help me figure it out. Is this one related to boundary conditions or anything else? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Here are some updates on the above question.

I double checked tensor.C in my OF version (2.3.0), which is the same as 2.2.x, and tested it using a simple case. The results showed an error when using the eigenvalue function in OF. It gave me a zero eigenvector when calculating eigenvalues of a diagonal matrix that has real values in the diagonal only. I highly doubt that the eigen function in OF may not be correct completely. So, if you need eigenvalues and eigenvectors, please rewrite codes or implement other codes to your solver. Good luck.

Please let me know if you have another insight.

Hi

I also received similar kind of error as attached.
Can you focus on how to solve it?

Thank you

Hi Mvee,

As I said in the last thread: I highly doubt that the eigen function in OF may not be correct completely. So, if you need eigenvalues and eigenvectors, please rewrite codes or implement other codes to your solver. Good luck.

I added a new eigen function in openfoam, you can do it yourself.
