Finite Element Method based simulation framework for multiphysics problems in solid and fluid mechanics.
A variety of finite element formulations are implemented.
- Programming languages: C++.
- C++ standard: C++14 (or above)
- Required third-party libraries:
- Clone the repository or download the zip file and extract its contents.
- Go to the directory of the repository in a terminal.
- Create build and bin directories.
mkdir buildmkdir bin
- Modify the CMake file accordingly.
- Copy
CMakeLists-chennalaptop.txtto a new file for your machine, sayCMakeLists-local.txt. - Change the paths to the compilers, Eigen, CGAL, PETSc and VTK libraries.
- Change the path in the
installfunction. - Create a symbolic link to the local CMake file.
ln -sf CMakeLists-local.txt CMakeLists.txt
- Copy
- Enter the
builddirectory.cd build
- Configure using the CMake file
cmake ..
- Compile, build and install the executable
mpap. This step will also copy the exe to thebinfolder.make install
- Add the path to the project
binto the globalPATHvariable to detect the executable from any other location.export PATH=$PATH:/home/chenna/Documents/myCode/mphyfem/bin- You can add the above command to
.bashrcto avoid doing it everytime.
- Simulations are usually run from any folder with a sub-folder named
inputs. - The project directory and file structure is as shown below.
project | ----inputs | | config | | meshfile.msh | | petsc_options.dat - To run the simulation, run the executable from the terminal.
- Example 1: To run using the default
configfile in theinputssub-directory../femSolidmechanics
- Example 2: To run using a different configuration file in the
inputssub-directory../femSolidmechanics configfile.config
