Hello Madhu,

Try using sfepy in-place build [1]. This example is in SfePy, so you can run it simply by (in the sfepy source directory):

python simple.py examples/linear_elasticity/its2D_2.py

But feel free to copy it elsewhere (as long as you stay in the sfepy source directory when running commands.

You can also use your file, but correct the path, if both the example and the mesh are in the same directory:

filename_mesh = 'its2D.mesh'

The syntax error is strange - how/where did you run the command? Also, do not mix \ and / characters in paths.

Does that help?
