Abstract
Presents an implementation of the algebraic multigrid method. It can work in two ways: as pure multigrid method and as a pre‐conditioner for the conjugate gradient method. Shows applications of the iterative solvers for problems in linear and non‐linear elasticity. Shows the range of possible applications with different examples with regular and non‐regular meshes and three‐dimensional problems.
