What's the Optimal Shape Function for Phase Field Simulations in FEM?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the optimal shape function or element for phase field simulations in finite element methods (FEM). Participants emphasize the importance of experimenting with different element types, as benchmarks for this specific analysis may be scarce. The conversation highlights the need for practical comparisons of results from various shapes used in simulations. Users are encouraged to share their findings and experiences with different shape functions. Ultimately, the goal is to determine the most effective approach for phase field simulations in FEM.

What have you found so far? What shapes are typically used for which types of simulations?

If you can't find any benchmarks for this type of analysis, it would be best to just try different element types and compare the results (i.e. do the benchmark yourself).

little otherwise wouldn't have asked here
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
