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.

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

Elasticity with periodic boundary condition
by Ronghai Wu 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Dear Robert Cimrman, I am trying to implement elastic inclusion problem. It is a 2D mesh with an inclusion(and therefore eigenstrain) at mesh centre. I developed my codes(as attached) based on following two previous issues. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sfepy-devel/Ronghai/sfepy-devel/… https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sfepy-devel/elastic$20periodic$2… But I have troubles with the boundary conditions. I would like to try two kinds of boundary conditions: (1) Top and bottom boundaries: uniaxial loading(or surface traction). Left and Right boundaries: periodic. I used "dw_tl_surface_traction" but some errors come out. (2) Periodic at all boundaries. I think there must be a easy way for this, but failed to find out in SfePy documentation and mailing list. Could you please give me some help. Thanks. Regards Ronghai

repo rewrite

Hi all, I screwed up some commits in the near past so now I have used the git weapon of mass destruction a.k.a. GFB. The history is changed, so, please, do not pull to your repositories! Use a fresh clone, or fetch, instead. Sorry for the inconvenience. r.

Grabbing the mass matrix
by Sukhbinder Singh 04 Feb '15

Hi this might be a silly question, but am not able to find a way to get the mass matrix from the problem in sfepy. I can get the stiffness matrix K but how to get the Mass matrix M. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Macport safety run_tests.py bug
by davidamb...＠gmail.com 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Using sfepy with python 2.7, MacPorts installation on Yosemite. Tried to run python run_tests.py but most tests failed. ran in debug mode and found that there was a problem finding certain dependent files: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meshes/elements/2_3_2.mesh' Had a look at the directory structure and I think the correct directory it should have is: '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ sfepy/meshes/elements/2_3_2.mesh' When I modified one test case (test_cmesh.py) accordingly this seemed to solve the issue. Hope this is helpful. Dave
