Material Parameters of Individual Nodes
by derj...＠web.de 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

Calculate total force from cauchy stress
by Patricia Garcia Cañadilla Jan. 17, 2019

Jan. 17, 2019

Dear Robert, I have a 2D body of hyperelastic material which contracts and I would like to compute the total force developed by the body from the cauchy stress. I am trying to follow some of your indications I found in this group, but I still couldn't make it works. Could you please help me to fix the problem? I am getting the following error: key = (region.name, integral.order, integration) AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'name' I am trying to do the following, inside stress_strain post-processing function: def stress_strain(out, problem, state, extend = False ): from sfepy.base.base import Struct from sfepy.mechanics.tensors import StressTransform from sfepy.mechanics.tensors import transform_data from sfepy.discrete.common.mappings import get_normals ev = problem.evaluate field = problem.fields['displacement'] region = problem.domain.regions['Gamma'] integral = problem.integrals['i2'] n = get_normals(field,integral,regions) stress = ev('dw_tl_fib_a.1.Omega(f1.fmax, f1.eps_opt, f1.s, f1.fdir, f1.act, v, u )',mode='qp', term_mode= 'stress'); F = ev('ev_def_grad.1.Omega(u)',mode='el_avg'); transform = StressTransform(F) Cstress = transform.get_cauchy_from_2pk(stress) T = Cstress*n; Force = ev('ev_surface_integrate.2.Gamma(T)') And here it is part of the problem configuration file. fields = { 'displacement': ('real', 'vector', 'Omega', 1), } materials = { 'solid' : (None, 'get_elastic_pars'), 'load' : (None, 'linear_tension'), 'f1' : 'get_pars_fibres1', } variables = { 'u': ('unknown field', 'displacement', 0), 'v': ('test field', 'displacement', 'u'), } regions = { 'Omega' : 'all', 'Fix1' : ('vertices in x < %.10f' % (fix_point + eps2), 'facet'), 'Fix2' : ('vertices in x > %.10f' % (fix_point - eps2), 'facet'), 'Fix' : ('r.Fix1 *v r.Fix2', 'facet'), 'Gamma' : ('vertices of surface','edge'), } ebcs = { 'fixb' : ('Fix', {'u.all' : 0.0}), } integrals = { 'i1' : ('v', 1), 'i2' : ('s', 2), }

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.

Problem with postproc.py
by Nikhil Vaidya July 21, 2016

July 21, 2016

Hi I tried to solve the examples/diffusion/poisson_short_syntax.py using simple.py. The solution completes by when I try to visualize cylinder.vtk with postproc.py, I get the following error: Exception: In C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\mayavi\sources\vtk_xml_file_reader.py: 86 AttributeError: 'AlgorithmOutput' object has no attribute 'point_data' (in get_all_attributes) The above error is in a dialog box. when I click ok, the postproc window opens with no geometry shown. I have tried visualizing the vtk file in paraview and that shows a reasonabel t profile. Additionally, the error log is in the attached file. Please tell me how to solve this problem.

Installation on windows using Visual C++ compiler

July 21, 2016

Hello, I downloaded the sfepy source code from git and installed it using the Visual C++ compiler. After installing, I ran the tests and 4 of them failed. I then ran those tests in debug mode and the output is attached. Please tell me how to solve this problem. Best regards, Nikhil

Re: [sfepy-devel] Issue whith the variable coors
by Robert Cimrman July 5, 2016

July 5, 2016

Hi Nicolas, you need only to return your values in 'qp' mode (and make them floats). It runs ok with those: def get_heat_Coeff(ts, coors, mode=None, **kwargs): if mode != 'qp': return file=open('heat_Coeff.dat', 'r') tab=[] tab=file.readlines() file.close() length=len(tab) for i in range(length): tab[i] = float(tab[i].strip()) val=nm.asarray(tab) val.shape = (coors.shape[0], 1, 1) return {'h' : val} def get_exchange(ts, coors, mode=None, **kwargs): if mode != 'qp': return file=open('exchange.dat', 'r') tab=[] tab=file.readlines() file.close() length=len(tab) for i in range(length): tab[i] = float(tab[i].strip()) val=nm.asarray(tab) val.shape = (coors.shape[0], 1, 1) return {'g' : val} BTW. make sure that the order of the values corresponds to the ordering of the quadrature point coordinates in coors argument. r.

Implementation of constant fields
by Nicolas DELAN July 4, 2016

July 4, 2016

Hello, I have to formulate this equation in sfepy: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--SRvfhvrVes/V3UtQhHns_I/AAAAAAAAVVI/URP8…> So with \partialOmega = gamma: """dw_laplace.i.Omega(c,s, t ) + dw_volume_dot.i.Gamma( h , t, s) =dw_surface_dot.i.Gamma(g, s )""" My question is: alpha and g are constants of the surface of the airfoil, i have two files that contains the values of them for each point of the surface (we are in a 2D problem). But i don't know how to define h and alpha in the configuration file as variables of the domain gamma with some ebcs conditions ?
