BVP and static condensation

Hi,

I was wondering if the static condensation steps (involving harmonic_extension_trans, etc…) are performed internally by BVP if eliminate_internal is set for the bilinear form or if we should only use BVP if static condensation is not required.

Thanks,

Hi,
BVP should respect the static condensation. Have you tried it and is there a problem?

Thanks, Christopher!

No – as far as I know, there is no problem. I had just been looking at some code which seemed to indicate that BVP performed those steps simply based on the ‘eliminate_internal’ keyword, but I couldn’t find documentation to confirm that. That is a nice feature!

Best,
Dow
