Material Parameters of Individual Nodes
by derj...＠web.de April 11, 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

Hi Mike, You need to either generate the mesh using the simple mesh generators that are in the sfepy package (just block or cylinder meshes), or (most often) you need to provide a mesh file, created in advance in an external tool. Many open-source or commercial softwares can be used for meshing. The following formats are supported thanks to meshio package: $ python3 script/convert_mesh.py -l a b sfepy: Supported readable mesh formats: sfepy: -------------------------------- sfepy: abaqus (.inp) sfepy: ansys (.cdb) sfepy: comsol (.txt) sfepy: exodus (['.ex2', '.e', '.exo']) sfepy: gambit (.neu) sfepy: gmsh (.msh) sfepy: gmsh-dg (.msh) sfepy: gmsh2-ascii (.msh) sfepy: gmsh2-binary (.msh) sfepy: gmsh4-ascii (.msh) sfepy: gmsh4-binary (.msh) sfepy: hdf5 (.h5) sfepy: hdf5-xdmf (.h5x) sfepy: hmascii (.hmascii) sfepy: med (.med) sfepy: medit (['.mesh', '.meshb']) sfepy: mesh3d (.mesh3d) sfepy: nastran (['.nas', '.fem', '.bdf']) sfepy: tetgen (['.node', '.ele']) sfepy: vtk (.vtk) sfepy: vtk-ascii (.vtk) sfepy: vtk-binary (.vtk) sfepy: vtu (.vtu) sfepy: xdmf (['.xmf', '.xdmf']) sfepy: xyz (.xyz) sfepy: sfepy: Supported writable mesh formats: sfepy: -------------------------------- sfepy: abaqus (.inp) sfepy: exodus (['.ex2', '.e', '.exo']) sfepy: gmsh (.msh) sfepy: gmsh-dg (.msh) sfepy: gmsh2-ascii (.msh) sfepy: gmsh2-binary (.msh) sfepy: gmsh4-ascii (.msh) sfepy: gmsh4-binary (.msh) sfepy: hdf5 (.h5) sfepy: hdf5-xdmf (.h5x) sfepy: med (.med) sfepy: medit (['.mesh', '.meshb']) sfepy: nastran (['.nas', '.fem', '.bdf']) sfepy: tetgen (['.node', '.ele']) sfepy: vtk (.vtk) sfepy: vtk-ascii (.vtk) sfepy: vtk-binary (.vtk) sfepy: vtu (.vtu) sfepy: xdmf (['.xmf', '.xdmf']) sfepy: xyz (.xyz) Does it help? r.

OK, so is fish_heart.py in your working directory? And how did you install sfepy (which version)? Anyway, maybe start with the example [1], which is up-to-date and simpler. r.

Can you post how you run the example module? If it is the file from [1], note that it is already 10 years old, so it likely needs updating for current sfepy. Regards, r.

export as audio soundfile (vtk to audiofile for instance)
by Olivier Pasquet Dec. 9, 2020

Dec. 9, 2020

Hello ! Is there a way to export data as a audio sound-file ? At least the kind that could Work ? For instance, acoustics3d.py or vibro_acoustic3d.py could export vtk file that could then be converted into a wav or aiff one ? Is there any example somewhere ? Thanks !! O.
