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.

Modeling an adjustable X-ray optic
by Tom Aldcroft 21 May '13

21 May '13

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! Tom Aldcroft

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... r.

Problem about "sfepy.mesh.mesh_tools.smooth_mesh" module for large datasets

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, Xiaogai

Re: Trying Installation... AttributeError: LooseVersion instance has no attribute 'version'

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. r.

acoustic band gaps code updated
by Robert Cimrman 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

FYI: the code for computing the acoustic band gaps (see [1] for basic explanation, the code linked there is obsolete though) has been updated to use the homogenization engine - this means greater flexibility in setting up the problems, as inter-dependencies among various components can be easily expressed. The examples in examples/phononic have been updated for the new code. They also present yet another way of writing problem description files. r. [1] http://sfepy.org/phononic/users_guide.html
