minsurf.gms : Minimal surface with obstacle COPS 2.0 #17


Find the surface with minimal area, given boundary conditions, and
above an obstacle.

This model is from the COPS benchmarking suite.
See http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~more/cops/.

The number of internal grid points can be specified using the command
line parameters --nx and --ny. COPS performance tests have been
reported for nx-1 = 50, ny-1 = 25, 50, 75, 100
