Name

Direct (DirectSolver) — A non-iterative non-sparse matrix solver using LU decomposition. Uses a lot of memory. Not recommended if the finite element mesh is large.

Description

The Direct solver uses LU decomposition to solve a matrix equation. This method is not an iterative method, so there is no tolerance to specify. However, it uses a lot of memory because it must store the whole matrix, even the zero components. The iterative solvers are usually more appropriate for finite element matrices, which are generally sparse.
