Material Parameters of Individual Nodes
by derj...＠web.de April 12, 2022

April 12, 2022

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 March 13, 2017

March 13, 2017

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.

Anaconda Install Instructions
by Daniel DeSantis Jan. 25, 2016

Jan. 25, 2016

Hello, I'm trying to install SfePy on a 64-bit windows XP machine with anaconda. I'm afraid I'm not quite following the instructions. I have anaconda and tried following the directions for Windows though I saw that is for python(x,y). I keep running into errors. Is there an updated set of instructions somewhere? Thanks for the help Dan

1D line elements in SfePy
by Nimish Jan. 22, 2016

Jan. 22, 2016

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

Material Model and a solver implementation in SfePy
by Madhu Mahadevappa Jan. 11, 2016

Jan. 11, 2016

Dear Robert, I want to implement a constitutive model for ice in compression which is developed using damage mechanics. Damage mechanics in the model utilizes Schapery's approach, which in turn derived from non-linear viscoelastic theory.I also want to implement an explicit solver which can capture high-speed dynamic events accurately.Could you help me understand what it will take to implement this material model, what SfePy can already do, and what I will need to contribute to for making this project work? This project is being carried out to know how easy is to use SfePy for the research that is going on in our university and to contribute for open source softwares like SfePy. The results will also be validated by comparing with the experimental. Please refer the attached paper for further details about the material model.
