Hello, We are trying to use sfepy for FEM analysis. However, we have a couple of queries about sfepy.

1. We couldn't find any examples for 1-D line element modelling, although it says so in the description. Can sfepy be used for it or just for plates & shells?

See [1] for a basic 1D example. There is no difference, besides the mesh dimension, between 1D and 2D/3D examples.

2. According to the manual, the outputs are in the form of stresses & strains. Is there any possible way to directly get results in the form of bending moment, shear force, reactions etc. ?

In elasticity calculations, the outputs are the displacements. The stresses and strains (and other quantities) can be computed during post-processing. The quantities you mention are possible to compute, but there is no built-in support for those in sfepy.

Best regards, r.
