In examples/large_deformation/hyperelastic.py a rotation by displacements is applied. By using a similar function the vectors defining the force couples could be defined for dw_surface_ltr (IMHO). Does it make sense? r. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Andre Smit" <freev...(a)gmail.com> To: <sfepy...(a)googlegroups.com> Subject: Torque Date: Sat, Dec 18, 2010 05:10 What is the best way to apply a torque load to a model? -- Andre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sfepy-devel" group.

I have overhauled the script, so that there are no globals, subiterations can be ended as needed etc. The traction() function is removed, the loading displacement is given simply by value. I hope it does what you intended. It needs a patch to TimeStepper, that I will be able to upload first on Monday, so either just look at it, or fix it yourself... :) r. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Andre Smit" <freev...(a)gmail.com> To: <sfepy...(a)googlegroups.com> Subject: Conference Date: Fri, Jan 21, 2011 02:47 Robert I believe I've sorted out the oscillation problem, which was a bug in the code. I've pasted the latest version at [1] that now converges tightly after 3 or 4 iterations. I have a few comments. As you will see: a) I'm runnng the solver repeatedly with increasing displacements. This was mainly because I'm unable to change the displacement variable (disp) in traction() outside of the function. Globals and lists didn't work for me here. b) To overcome this obstacle, the displacement for each solver/displacement cycle is saved to file and read from disk in traction(). c) I iterate the problem until the force converges and then increment the displacement. d) The element stiffness matrix (Ele) is saved to file and loaded at the start of the subsequent displacement interval. Comments: 1) I considered adding a variable to ts, say ts.disp and adding the displacement to that, making it available in traction. I'm sure there is a better way though. 2) I also cannot terminate the ts loop and am forced to run through all ts.n_steps. This is a problem since the forces converge at different number of steps at which point I would like the loop to end.

You cannot really change value of a global that is immutable (IMHO)... A common idiom is to use list instead, like: disp = [0] def traction(ts, coors, bc=None): disp[0] = ... What is the meaning of 'smix' stiffness, for strain rate zero? I'm not sure. That might be the problem causing the oscillations... r. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sfepy-devel" group.

Hi, I am now polishing the MeshIO stuff, so it is a good time to address the issue [1]. could someone with a Windows box try running ./script/convert_mesh.py meshes/3d/cylinder.mesh out.vtk and send me the resulting file 'out.vtk'? Thanks, r. [1] http://code.google.com/p/sfepy/issues/detail?id=128

vtk vs h5

I'm increasingly using paraview to post-process. As far as I can tell it doesn't read h5 format. I've read somewhere that h5 can be embedded within xdmf files, which paraview can open. Are there converters available - any suggestions. -- Andre
