I am currrently looking for FEM packages to help me solve a system of beams and columns, basically a collection of 1D bernoulli/timoshenko line elements. I started reading SfePy docs and i am getting the idea that doing the above is not really possible here, am i right? Are only 2D area elements permitted in SfePy? Or is there any direct support for solving 1D line elements too..
Cheers Nimish
Hi Nimish,
the 1D elements are not currently supported, that's true. Also the 2D elements are supported only for 2D problems for now - no 2D elements embedded in 3D.
FYI: I am (slowly) adding the support for the elements of lower dimension, and even the 1D elements are planned, but I cannot tell the time frame, as the rest of the code has to be updated to allow that.
Cheers, r.

What sort of tasks one have to take to implement support for 1D element? I'm also looking forward to it. However, you can provide me with brief instructions, see what I can do.

Thanks for the offer, but I am learning this topic myself. If I knew exactly how to do it, it would be a piece of cake.
If there is anybody with some coding experience related to plates/shells/beams etc., any remark/suggestion will be appreciated.

Robert, Thanks for clearing up the issue. Good to see your zeal in continuous development of the software. I sure look forward to use 1D elements in SfePY as and when they are implemented.

Based on my limited knowledge, I think 1D elements have no relation to plate/shells, only beam/column or what we say truss elements are to be considered 1D elements. Having options in plate/shells element is nice but its too advanced.

Sure, it's a different thing. But those element share the "feature" that all of them have lower spatial dimension than the space.

Right! I did not think that way... Hope to see 1D support soon.

Hi Robert,
Its been a while since your post in 2012, I was wondering if you have any news on the lower dimension elements? Specifically I am interested in 1D elements in 3D space, I do note you said before that 2D-3D element weren't available at the time.
Thanks
Ross

Hi Ross,
The only change in this respect was the addition of 1D elements in 1D space. So you can use nD elements in nD space, n = 1,2,3, but not lower-dimensional elements in a higher-dimensional space.
