falcon-preprost

falöcon-prepost is repository containing Python scripts to prepare input files for a Finite Element Analysis using falcon.

Pre-requisites

• Python 3
• GMSH

Usage

In the directory containing the .geo (say, problem.geo for a 2D mesh), execute:

python3 /path/to/GMSH2Jive.py --file problem.geo --meshRank 2

Additionally, one could pass Booleans to options sortElems and ip. sortElems renumbers the elements as 3D,2D,1D. ip creates dummy nodes for the integration points, which is special case. By default, sortElems and ip are set to False.

Usage (special case)

If one needs dummy nodes for the integration points, in the directory containing .geo (say, demo/polycrystal/polycrystal.geo), execute:

python3 /path/to/GMSH2Jive.py --file polycrystal.geo --meshRank 2 --sortElems True --ip True

This will create polycrystal.ipnodes. To include these nodes in the main mesh file polycrystal.mesh, execute:

python3 /path/to/MergeDummyNodes.py --file polycrystal

Note that we pass the filename (polycrystal) without the extension here. This will merge contents of polycrystal.ipnodes and polycrystal.mesh to polycrystal_merged.mesh

Additionally, one could pass Booleans to options sortElems and ip. sortElems renumbers the elements as 3D,2D,1D. ip creates dummy nodes for the integration points, which is special case. By default, sortElems and ip are set to False.
