Finite Element Analysis
Project description
FElupe - Finite Element Analysis
FElupe is a Python 3.6+ finite element analysis package focussing on the formulation and numerical solution of nonlinear problems in continuum mechanics of solid bodies. Its name is a combination of FE (finite element) and the german word Lupe (magnifying glass) as a synonym for getting a little insight how a finite element analysis code looks like under the hood.
Installation
Install Python, fire up a terminal and run
pip install felupe[all]
where [all] installs all optional dependencies. By default, FElupe does not require numba and sparse. In order to make use of all features of FElupe, it is suggested to install all optional dependencies.

Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
[Unreleased]
[1.1.0] - 2021-10-30
Added
- Add inverse quadrature method
quadrature.inv()for Gauss-Legendre schemes. - Add discontinous representation of a mesh as mesh method
mesh.as_discontinous(). - Add
tools.project()to project (and average) values at quadrature points to mesh points.
Changed
- Removed
quadpydependency and use built-in polynomials ofnumpyfor Gauss-Legendre calculation.
Fixed
- Fix typo in first shear component of
math.tovoigt()function. - Fix wrong stress projection in
tools.topoints()due to different quadrature and cell ordering.
[1.0.1] - 2021-10-19
Fixed
- Fix import of dof-module if
sparseis not installed.
[1.0.0] - 2021-10-19
Added
- Start using a Changelog.
- Added docstrings for essential classes, methods and functions.
- Add array with point locations for all elements.
Changed
- Rename element methods (from
basistofunctionand frombasisprimetogradient). - Make constitutive materials more flexible (allow material parameters to be passed at stress and elasticity evaluation
umat.gradient(F, mu=1.0)). - Rename
ndimtodim. - Simplify element base classes.
- Speed-up calculation of indices (rows, cols) for Fields and Forms (about 10x faster now).
- Update
test_element.pyaccording to changes in element methods.
Removed
- Automatic check if the gradient of a region can be calculated based on the dimensions. The
gradargument inregion(grad=False)has to be enforced by the user.
