[sfepy] Re: Creating and Adding New Terms

Hello there! First of all let me just say that SfePy is such an amazing software and is helping the visualization and solving equations for my research immensely without having to pay the exorbitant amount of money for a comparable software.

Thanks!

  After familiarizing myself with creating meshes, and running different simulations (in my case mostly Navier-Stokes) I was attempting how to create a way to simulate the Brusselator equations and attempted to create two new terms that would model these equations. After following the very nice tutorial in the Developer's Guide, I mimicked all of the other term files and placed a file "terms_brussels.py" into the terms folder just as the other terms files are and I kept getting errors that there were no such terms as the ones I had made. I also attempted to (rather roguishly) append my new terms into a pre-existing term file. This could just be stupidity or naivety on my part, but how would one go about implimenting a new term that they had made. I have tried looking for more information in the documentation so I apologize if this question is covered there.

Maybe there is some bug in the new terms code that prevents the file being imported - try ignore_errors=False setting in sfepy/terms/__init__.py.

Could you send your new terms, and a (small size) example that uses them, so that I could try running it?

Cheers, r.
