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?

What is the best way to apply a torque load to a model?

I'm working on modeling a next-generation X-ray mirror for which the
shape can be actively controlled by use of many thin piezo-electric
actuators mounted on the mirror surface. The mirror is basically a
glass conical paraboloid with a 1 meter radius and 200 micron
thickness (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_optics). Our
project is currently using a proprietary FEA package, but the model
setup and turnaround time is slow, in part because there is only one
part-time engineer who can run it.
SfePy looks like a great package and we're hoping that it could be
used to automate running a large number of different cases. I've
spent some time reading the documentation but I have a few questions
that I hope can be answered before going too much further. I want to
apologize in advance if some of my wording is imprecise, I have a
physics background but this topic is a bit outside my realm...
- Is SfePy appropriate for this problem?
- If a specify a grid with about 800 x 400 points (azimuthal, axial)
and about 10 boundary conditions (corresponding to mount points), what
is the rough order of magnitude of time to compute the solution? Is
it seconds, minutes, hours, or days?
- The linear elastic examples show a problem with a specified
displacement. How do I specify an input force? The piezo essentially
provides a tensile force along the surface.
- Is there a way to specify the problem and solve in cylindrical
coordinates? This is the natural coordinate system.
- How do I specify 6-DOF constraints which correspond to the mirror
mounts?
Thanks in advance for any help!

ok, I think I have a suspect: the working mesh has element type 12
(VTK_HEXAHEDRON), while the two that do not work have 11 (VTK_VOXEL). I have
updated SfePy to support pixels and voxels - check out the current git master.
The sinus.vtk seems to work, about the other file I am not sure, as it takes a
long time, but it can be read...

Hi everyone,
I have a problem about "sfepy.mesh.mesh_tools.smooth_mesh" module,
when it comes to large data size, the running time is very long.
I have a model with about 300,000 cells, now already taken more than
10 hours, but still not finished yet.
So I wonder, if anyone has experience know the some tricks to make it
running faster?
Thanks for your time.
BR,

Hi,
I cannot test it right now, but it seems something is wrong with mayavi installation. In regular ipython, is it possible to import mayavi and traits?

Hi Sven,
Does any of these work:
from enthought.mayavi import version
or
from mayavi import version
I have mayavi 4.0.0, where the latter works. In 3.* versions, the former way
worked, but you may have something older. Note this is the mayavi version, not
VTK. Anyway, mayavi is not a hard dependency, so you should be able run sfepy
without it, or with older version.

What is your system and mayavi version? Is mayavi installed? Anyway, thanks for creating the issue, it looks like a bug in setup.
In the meantime, you can try commenting out the mayavi version check in setup.py, around line 110.
