Material Parameters of Individual Nodes
by derj...＠web.de 11 Apr '22

Hello! It's a great tool you built there! I'd like to use it for some kind of topology optimisation. Is there an "idiomatic" way to set the material parameters of individual nodes? Thank you very much! JonnyB

Re: Torque

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.

new interactive example with time stepping
by Robert Cimrman 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi, I have just updated the time stepping solvers in sfepy for interactive use, as demonstrated in the new example [1]. For basic use, ignore the probing code - the time stepper can be used as simply as: tss = SimpleTimeSteppingSolver({'t0' : 0.0, 't1' : 100.0, 'n_step' : 11}, problem=problem) tss.init_time() for step, time, state in tss(): pass r.

Dear Robert I could overcome my previous problems of not having root privileges, so it all worked up till the command: ./postproc.py cylinder.vtk This echoed the below message: Exception In /home/gmh/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mayavi-4.4.4.dev0-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/mayavi/sources/vtk_xml_file_reader.py:86 AttributeError: 'AlgorithmOutput' object has no attribute 'point_data' (in get_all_attributes) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gmh/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/traits-4.6.0.dev354-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/traits/trait_notifiers.py", line 340, in __call__ self.handler( *args ) File "/home/gmh/sfepy/sfepy/postprocess/dataset_manager.py", line 177, in _dataset_changed self._assign_attribute.input = value File "/home/gmh/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/traits-4.6.0.dev354-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/traits/trait_handlers.py", line 104, in _read_only name, class_of( object ) ) TraitError: The 'input' trait of an AssignAttribute instance is 'read only'. sfepy: point scalars t at [-0.05 -0.02 0. ] sfepy: range: -2.00e+00 2.00e+00 l2 norm range: 1.06e-02 2.00e+00 No handlers could be found for logger "mayavi.core.common" I'm using Python 2.7.8 if that's relevant to the current issue.

1D line elements in SfePy
by Nimish 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I am currrently looking for FEM packages to help me solve a system of beams and columns, basically a collection of 1D bernoulli/timoshenko line elements. I started reading SfePy docs and i am getting the idea that doing the above is not really possible here, am i right? Are only 2D area elements permitted in SfePy? Or is there any direct support for solving 1D line elements too.. Cheers Nimish

Non linear Poisson Equation
by Francesca Camorrino 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hello! I'm trying to solve Poisson equation with Sfepy in a very simple domain, but I found some problem: 1) I need triangular mesh on a rectangular/square domain 2) I have null von neumann conditions ( and I omitted them in boundary condition) like in the discussion https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sfepy-devel/null$20von$20neumann… 3)I know that this problem have many convergence problem, in one of this case is the simulation successful? Or I find some error? I don't know because the simulation is successful but in the postprocessing the result isn't correct I attach the problem description file too. If you want I would like some advice about my problem Thank you very much -Francesca

cannot set toolkit to wx because it has already been set to qt4
by silesa...＠hotmail.com 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

I have made an inline instalation of sfepy-2013.3 on fedora22 , I run the tests and I have only 3 failed, they maybe related to the parallel option since I don't have instaled that option. I have python 2.7.10, mayavi 4.4.3, VTK 6.1.0, Qt 4.8.6 Either on the python or ipython window when I try to import: *from sfepy.postprocess.viewer import Viewe*r I get the following message, *cannot set toolkit to wx because it has already been set to qt4* and of course any postprocessing will fail

Or I find some error? You fix the potential in some, so it should work fine. But your definition for region 'p' selects nothing for the mesh you generate - try 'p' : ('vertices in (x <= 0.99951 )', 'vertex'), instead. Always verify your regions using --save-regions-as-groups option: ./simple.py prob_desc_file.py --save-regions-as-groups - then check the 0_regions.vtk file using postproc.py. > I don't know because the simulation is successful but in the postprocessing > the result isn't correct > I attach the problem description file too. If you want I would like some > advice about my problem When I run your code, it does not do anything, because there is no load - maybe some right-hand side term is missing? Or provide a Dirichlet BC also in the region 'n' (again, fix the region definition). r. PS: I missed your message, so my reply is late.
