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 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

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).

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.

Do I generate mesh in the wrong way?
by Ronghai Wu 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi Robert, I am using sfepy for static linear elasticity problem in 2D. The mesh size is 200*200 (mesh file is attached) and equations are as following: def D_function(self, ts, coors, mode, term=None, **kwargs): if mode != 'qp': return _, weights = term.integral.get_qp('2_4') self.n_qp = weights.shape[0] self.val_D = np.repeat(self.stiffness_tensor, self.n_qp, axis=0) return {'function' : self.val_D} def prestress_function(self,ts, coors, mode, term=None, **kwargs): if mode != 'qp': return _, weights = term.integral.get_qp('2_4') self.n_qp = weights.shape[0] self.val_pre = np.repeat(self.prestress_value, self.n_qp, axis=0) return {'function' : self.val_pre} self.m = Material('m', function=self.D_function) self.prestress_value = np.copy(self.stress_0) (self.prestress_value).shape = (-1, 3, 1) self.prestress = Material('prestress', function=self.prestress_function) integral = Integral('i', order=2) self.t1 = Term.new('dw_lin_elastic(m.function, v, u )', integral, self.omega, m=self.m, v=self.v, u=self.u) self.t2 = Term.new('dw_lin_prestress(prestress.function, v )',integral, self.omega, prestress=self.prestress, v=self.v) self.t3 = Term.new('dw_surface_ltr(traction_lef.val, v)', integral, self.lef, traction_lef=self.traction_lef, v=self.v) self.t4 = Term.new('dw_surface_ltr(traction_rig.val, v)', integral, self.rig, traction_rig=self.traction_rig, v=self.v) self.t5 = Term.new('dw_surface_ltr(traction_top.val, v)', integral, self.top, traction_top=self.traction_top, v=self.v) self.t6 = Term.new('dw_surface_ltr(traction_bot.val, v)', integral, self.bot, traction_bot=self.traction_bot, v=self.v) self.fem_eq = Equation('balance', self.t1 - self.t2 - self.t3 - self.t4 - self.t5 - self.t6) self.eqs = Equations([self.fem_eq]) self.ls = ScipyDirect({}) self.nls_status = IndexedStruct() self.nls = Newton({'i_max' : 1,'eps_a' : 1e-8,'problem' : 'nonlinear'}, lin_solver=self.ls, status=self.nls_status) self.pb = Problem('elasticity', equations=self.eqs, nls=self.nls, ls=self.ls) self.pb.time_update(ebcs=Conditions([fix_u_lef_corn])) self.pb.update_materials() self.vec = self.pb.solve() When I run the simulation, the information below are printed. I have several questions about it. I tried to find answers from source codes but failed. Could you please give me some help, thanks. (1) I do understand why "matrix shape: (79999, 79999)" and "matrix structural nonzeros: 1439965". what exactly this "matrix" is? what is its relation with mesh size (200*200)? (2) I do not understand why "updating materials..." did twice. (3) "solve: 6.18 [s]". I guess it should not take such a long time for a mesh size (200*200) problem. Is it because I generate mesh file in the wrong way or because of other reasons? (4) In which source code file the following information are printed? sfepy: updating variables... sfepy: ...done sfepy: setting up dof connectivities... sfepy: ...done in 0.00 s sfepy: matrix shape: (79999, 79999) sfepy: assembling matrix graph... sfepy: ...done in 0.05 s sfepy: matrix structural nonzeros: 1439965 (2.25e-04% fill) sfepy: updating materials... sfepy: m sfepy: traction_bot sfepy: traction_rig sfepy: prestress sfepy: traction_top sfepy: traction_lef sfepy: ...done in 0.05 s sfepy: updating materials... sfepy: m sfepy: traction_bot sfepy: traction_rig sfepy: prestress sfepy: traction_top sfepy: traction_lef sfepy: ...done in 0.05 s sfepy: nls: iter: 0, residual: 4.741758e+01 (rel: 1.000000e+00) sfepy: rezidual: 0.04 [s] sfepy: solve: 6.18 [s] sfepy: matrix: 0.10 [s] sfepy: nls: iter: 1, residual: 5.936719e-14 (rel: 1.252008e-15) sfepy: equation "tmp": sfepy: ev_cauchy_strain.2.Omega(u) sfepy: updating materials... sfepy: ...done in 0.00 s Regards Ronghai

About Mesh
by Nikhil Vaidya 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hello! I am trying to solve a problem using sfepy. It is a multiphysics problem with weakly coupled convection and conduction. There are three regions in my domain which need to be separately defined. I went through the user guide and saw the format for defining regions in the domain. The regions in my geometry are not simple enough to be described by mathematical conditions. I usually use Starccm+ for my multiphysics simulations. There I define the regions using the GUI. One region in my domain is a real blood vessel observed in a CT scan. Can anyone tell me how I should define my regions in this case? I have seen in the user guide, that regions can be defined using "groups" of cells and vertices. I would like to know how these groups are defined. Best regards, Nikhil
