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!

hello，
Can you tell me which part of the code in sfepy specifically calculates the element stiffness matrix? Which textbook do you refer to for the method of calculating the element stiffness matrix? Thanks!
Hello,
I am working on the solution of coupled systems of equations through
external coupling of partial systems by the boundary conditions
(specifically, CHT coupling for aerothermics). This is typically
performed at Onera with the solvers /elsA /for aerodynamics and Z-set
for thermics, coupled through Dirichlet-Robin, Neumann-Robin or similar
boundary conditions on temperature and flux at the solid boundaries.
For (possibly at-home) research purposes I am trying to create a simpler
system, based on SfePy and Gmsh.
The solution by SfePy of the thermal problem on the solid domain works
very well (NACA C3X turbine vane), as for the aerodynamics (in laminar
flow in a periodic channel at low Reynolds number to reduce
computational costs).
I am currently tackling the solution of the aerothermal problem in
incompressible flow; again, the solution of the global problem
(1:dynamics & 2:thermics combined in 1 system) by SfePy works very well.
I then proceeded to the separation of systems 1 & 2, which are uncoupled
for incompressible flow and may be solved successively.
Again, I managedto chain initial computations on the two sets of
equations, starting from constant or function-defined boundary conditions.
For CHT coupling, I will need to (re-)start computations from initial
fields:
- velocity u
- pressure p
- temperature T
As a check,, I tried to solve the global set of all equations (1+2) from
the previous (u, p, T) fields.
This would also allow me to output a single file with all the fields for
plotting.
I didn't find a way toset the initial fields through initial conditions,
because apparently the icsdefinition is used
bydiscrete.variables.FieldVariable.setup_initial_conditions()(see code
below).
I also tried (last code snippet) using state.set_parts(), with
init_fields=False, to no avail.
Please tell, what am I missing ?
How can I initialise a field with arbitrary field-typed data:
- not defined by a function of the coordinates
- not read from a file
?
Best regards,
Marc Lazareff
In my script:
# 1) solve the stationary incompressible dynamics
state_dynamics = problem1.solve()
...
# 2) solve the stationary thermics (decoupled heat advection)
state_thermics = problem2.solve()
...
# 3) gather all data
u_part = state_dynamics.get_parts()['u’]
p_part = state_dynamics.get_parts()['p']
T_part = state_thermics.get_parts()['T']
# initial conditions from fields: *bad, only uses 1 value from each
field
*
ics = {
'icU' : ('Omega', u_part),
'icP' : ('Omega', p_part),
'icT' : ('Omega', T_part),
}
problem3 = Problem.from_conf(conf, init_equations=False) # ,
init_fields=False)
problem3.setup_default_output()
equations3 = {spam:equations0[spam] for spam in ['balance',
'incompressibility', 'neumannP', 'energy']}
problem3.set_equations(equations3)
variables3 = problem3.get_variables()
# (re-)solve "coupled" problem
state_all = problem3.solve()
problem3.save_state(problem3.get_output_name(suffix='all'), state_all)
In SfePy:
def setup_initial_conditions(self, ics, di, functions, warn=True): #
ML warn=False):
"""
Setup of initial conditions.
"""
ics.canonize_dof_names(self.dofs)
ics.sort()
print(f"setup_initial_conditions: ics = {ics}")
self.initial_condition = nm.zeros((di.n_dof[self.name],),
dtype=self.dtype)
for ic in ics:
region = ic.region
dofs, val = ic.dofs
print(f"setup_initial_conditions: val = {val}”) # !! only
gathers a single value
...
# also tried:
state = problem3.create_state()
# not OK @ dictionary comprehension, using explicit loop
for var in ('u', 'p', 'T'):
state.set_parts({var: eval(f"{var}_part")})

Hello users,
I am using pymks library for my work which was working well sfepy==2019.4. How can I get older version setup. Unable to get from conda forge or in github. Kindly help
