First time started to have a look on Julia. I re-wrote the mesh generators from FElupe in Julia. It's a great language - I have the feeling that I wrote very readable code. However, sometimes I came across (multi-dimensional) arrays as expected but some other calculations resulted in vectors of matrices, or vectors of vectors of vectors. How can I convert the latter ones to arrays?

FElupe - A Python package for Finite Element Analysis, Version 7.8.0 is available on PyPI. Now with mesh-generators for the elementary shapes line, rectangle, cube, triangle and circle.

Just added linked view manipulation to GIBBON. #opensource #computationalMechanics #GeometryProcessing

(Simply use the space key to turn on/off the linking.)

GIBBON is ready #CMBBE2023 ! Heading to Paris tomorrow and can't wait to present the latest implementations and upgrades for FEBio4.

If you are attending the workshop, upgrade GIBBON to the latest version:

It has been a week, so it is time for an #introduction.

I am a physics engineer and have been working on #ComputationalScienceAndEngineering for a while now, specifically in #ComputationalMechanics.

I am interested in the design of materials, wave propagation, open science, and open-source software.

Y'all, I created a #ComputationalMechanics list. This is the one:

in case you want to check it out. I don't know yet if you can follow a list, but we'll find out.

Let's talk about #SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics (#SPH for short, even though you'll see #sph_ used on other sites, because #SPH also has a very common, very not-safe-for-work meaning …).

Why should we talk about it? Because it's relatively less known than other numerical methods, possibly undeservingly so, and because I love it.

So what is it? SPH is a Lagrangian meshless numerical method primarily used for #ComputationalFluidDynamics (and more recently also #ComputationalMechanics).
