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). 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.

Correct element orientation for tetrahedral mesh
by Kathrin Sobe 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi Robert, I was able to load a mesh from a nastran .bdf file. The mesh is build of tetrahedrons (nodes: 12593, tetrahedrons: 310106). When I create the Domain it stops with the following error: sfepy: warning: bad element orientation, trying to correct... sfepy: warning: bad element orientation, trying to correct... Traceback (most recent call last): runtime, nodes = tool_displacement() domain = FEDomain('domain', mesh) self.fix_element_orientation() raise RuntimeError('elements cannot be oriented! (%s)' % key) RuntimeError: elements cannot be oriented! (3_4) What is a correct element orientation for tetrahedral elements? The Nastran file was generated automatically. Thanks for your help, Kathrin

Hi Manuel, I am forwarding your message to the mailing list, because I could not reach you using your address (Connection timed out error). I will answer to the list as well. r. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: SfePy - Electro-thermo-mechanics problem Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 12:31:33 +0200 From: Manuel Feuchter <manuel.feuchter(a)twt-gmbh.de> To: cimrman3(a)ntc.zcu.cz Hey Robert, first of all: SfePy is an amazing project! I am getting to like SfePy more and more :) I tried to start a thread at https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/sfepy@python.org But unfortunately am I not able to. I recieve a "Server Error (500)" . So I try it via Email :) Concerning SfePy: I get stuck with a few problems/questions: Background: I would like to set up a subsequent coupled system (so not fully coupled): 1. electric field evolves an electric current (at the end of the day, I would like to apply the electric field as an time (time step) dependent function.) 2. electric current results in liberated heat by joule heating 3. the liberated heat drives the thermal expansion und results in thermal stresses # 1: ------ Concerning example: http://sfepy.org/doc-devel/examples/multi_physics/thermal_electric.html (multi_physics/thermal_electric.py) Equation: dw_laplace.2.Omega( m.electric_conductivity, psi, phi ) = 0 Your comment states: """ First solve the stationary electric conduction problem. Then use its results to solve the evolutionary heat conduction problem. """ Alright. However, just to understand it comprehensively? When you say you solve the "stationary electric conduction problem". Does this imply actually two equations? $(1) \textbf{E} = -\nabla \phi$\\ $(2) \textbf{j} = \frac{1}{\varrho}\cdot\textbf{E}$ Is this right? # 2: ------ Assuming I got it right, I would like to solve the electric conduction problem in terms of a quasi-static circumstance (external electric potential and internal resistivity will change). This means I would like to solve the electric conduction problem for every time step that I run the simulation and hence use the result (of $\textbf{j}$) for every next time step. I tried so, however I must have gotten sth wrong. The apparent electric field is not used?! Am I right? And how am I able to achieve so? (please find my code below) # 3: ------ For the heat conduction equation: ... = dw_electric_source.2.Omega( m.electric_conductivity, s, phi ) Here, for the source term $\textbf{p} = \varrho \cdot \textbf{j}^2$ is solved? And how does the specific heat gets involved in your equation? Is the source term divided by the thermal conductivity [W/mK]? Does specific_heat to be named exactly like this to be involved in the 'dw_volume_dot.2.Omega( s, dT/dt )' term? # 4: ------ How am I able to apply a time (time step) dependent function for the electric potential?!

Forwarding to the list... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [sfepy] Re: Several questions for solving a linear elastic problem Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 10:59:10 +0200 From: Kathrin Sobe <kathrinsbriefkasten(a)googlemail.com> To: Robert Cimrman <cimrman3(a)ntc.zcu.cz> Hi Robert, just to let you know: This is the result of the example code after I changed the things according to your suggestions. Thank you. I think the questions are answered and I also get a nice result picture. In the next phase I will try the same with the real mesh object. My modifications are as follows: * the surface region is extracted directly with: surface = domain.create_region('Toppart', 'vertices of surface', 'facet') # 528 facets * the material function returns a force vector for each quadrature point: I just splitted the triangle force vector by the number of quadrature points per triangle (facet). I hope this is the right way to distributet the forces. * result extraction with post processing: this works after adding copy_materials = False: The second approach from examples/linear_elasticity/modal_analysis.py, around line 291 did not work in my example. The code is there in comment lines. The code was working, but the result was zero for all elements? However with post_processing I am able to access the results. * Furthermore, I changed the definition of the linear elastic material to solid = Material('solid', values={'D': stiffness_from_youngpoisson(dim=3, young=200, poisson=0.3)}). In my case the material is defined by the youngs-modulus and the poissions ratio. * the gravity is changed to: t3 = Term.new('dw_volume_lvf(f.val, v)', integral, omega, f=f, v=v) The values for the material are also defined by a function.

Use the dw_volume_lvf term for volume forces just as you use dw_surface_ltr for surface forces. The material parameter here is a force per unit volume.

You need to provide a force per unit area vector (so yes, we may call it splitting) in each quadrature point. Each quadrature point is in exactly one face, yes. The number of quadrature point per face can be found as follows: qps = t2.get_physical_qps() print qps.shape (88, 3, 3) = 88 faces, 3 QPs per face, 3 coordinates (in 3D) So this tells you, that the coor argument of linear_tension has 3 rows for each face (in the order of top.faces (= t2.region.faces). r.

Several questions for solving a linear elastic problem
by Kathrin Sobe 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Hi Robert, I try to solve a linear elastic problem. I give a example in a python file that is a modified version of the example given in http://sfepy.org/doc-devel/examples/linear_elasticity/linear_elastic_tracti… The problem I want to solve is the following: I have a object, defined as a 3D mesh of tetrahedrons. In the test example I take the medium size 3D cube. The real 3D object is much bigger and has a more structured surface. On the top of the object there are certain forces. These forces are defined as 3D vectors, one for each surface triangle. Additionally the object has certain material parameters given by density, poisson ratio and elastic modulus. Working through the linear elastic examples I figured out two different types of solutions: 1. modeling the forces at the surface as a material with a function (manual 4.3.9) 2. modeling the forces at the surface as a boundary condition So the first question is in general: Is this the right way to model my problem? At the moment I think solution type number one is the better approach? Going through the first approach I have the following more detailed problems: * Region definition: I need a way to define the surface triangles of the 3D object. Because of the structure of the object, this cannot be done with coordinate ranges. * Material definition with force vectors: the 3D force vectors are given for each surface triangle (defined at the centroid of each triangle). In the material function examples I found only the definition of forces at quadrature points and only as scalar values. * After solving the problem I need to extract the node displacement and the stress. For the stress calculation I tried to use a post_process function as visible in the example. But this was not working. Thank you for your help. I hope the code in my example code makes the problems more clear.
