Hello Robert,
thanks for your reply.
I certainly already had a look at the docs and already tried to find info concerning material laws for large deformation. I did read the "user documentation". Then I tried the "devel documentation" and found, e.g. http://docs.sfepy.org/doc-devel/_modules/sfepy/terms/terms_hyperelastic_tl.h..., "term_function" is defined. So I could have a look at that. The problem seems to be a different one, though.
For me: A 'nice-to-have' would be e.g. a diagram, which shows, how the modules work together or call each other successively. The calling order and calling hierarchy must be clear from that... Such a thingy would make the start much easier for somebody like me. And such a thingy could be defined as a subtopic in your Developer Guide. It could be called 'Example Program Flow' or 'Calling Sequence'.
I see. Yes, this information would be useful. Maybe we could use pycallgraph [1] for this purpose?
Otherwise, some additional documentation may be built using doxygen by running
$ make htmldocs
- then view doc/html/index.html in the sfepy directory. This gives an overview of all classes, their inheritance etc.
You can also try running/looking at:
$ ./examples/standalone/interactive/linear_elasticity.py -s
where you can roughly see how a problem definition is built and the problem solved. Running this through pycallgraph might be interesting.
Anyway, thanks again for your response. I'll dive into it deeper first and eventually will get back to you. Sven
Great!
