Hi Frank,

While I could use sor, it seems quite a dip into the past as it was used in the really old days of NR. Now one would hope that more modern and efficient and faster tools are available.

Which brings me to ask: what elliptic solvers are part and parcel of ET nowadays? I seem to remember but can not confirm that Erik had created some meta thing for solving elliptics of the for m delsqr(phi) + M*phi + N = 0. What can you tell me about this topic?

Thanks for your help.

BAM_Elliptic probably still exists somewhere, but I have not heard of
someone using it in quite a while and would not count on it still
working. BAM is used as an elliptic solver here, but there are
alternatives (sor or petsc). There doesn't seem to be a test case for
either (there should at least be one for sor), but there is a par file
in the par/ directory of IDBrillData. If what you are interested in is a
test, and you prepare one using sor (it might not take a lot given how
fast that one runs), we would be interested in it to add to the toolkit.
