Problem description: Coupled consolidation problem                     
                                                                       
The matrix Cube_Coup is obtained from a 3D coupled consolidation       
problem of a cube discretized with tetrahedral Finite Elements. The    
computational grid is characterized by regularly shaped elements.  The 
copuled consolidation problem gives rise to a matrix having 4 unknowns 
associated to each node: the first three are displacement unknowns, the
fourth is a pressure. Coupled consolidation is a transient problem with
the matrix ill-conditioning strongly depending on the time step size.  
We provide a relatively simple problem, "dt0" with  a time step size of
10^0 seconds, and a more difficult one, "dt6" with a time step of 10^6 
seconds.  The two Cube_Coup_* matrices are symmetric indefinite.
