A library for finite element (FE) modelling of static/quasi-static structural mechanics problems with legacy FEniCS, which contains the following main modules:
structure:
For defining a structural mechanics experiment, including geometry, mesh, boundary conditions (BCs), and time-varying loadings. The time is quasi-static, i.e. no dynamic (inertia) effects will be accounted for in the problem module below.
material:
For handling constitutive laws such as elasticity, gradient damage, plasticity, etc.
problem:
For establishing structural mechanics problems for desired structures and material laws coming from the two above modules, and solving the problems built up. These can be performed for two main cases: static (no time-evolution) that also includes homogenization, and quasi-static (QS).
After installing Anaconda, clone the repository and run the following command from the root (of the cloned repository):
conda env create -f ./environment.yml
. This creates a conda environment named as 'feniqs' to be activated and used. Within that environment the package is accessible as 'feniQS'. NOTE: Using mamba instead of conda is faster/easier.
