Background

The computer program CALFEM is written for the software MATLAB and is an interactive tool for learning the finite element method. CALFEM is an abbreviation of ”Computer Aided Learning of the Finite Element Method” and been developed by the Division of Structural Mechanics at Lund University since the late 70’s.

Why CALFEM for Python?

Unlike MATLAB, which have expensive licenses, Python is free to use and distribute both for personal and commercial use. This is the python version of CALFEM for scientific purposes/research.

Installation

Install CALFEM for python using pip install calfem-python

Dependencies

Mesh Generation Software: GMSH. Install GMSH here and add to the PATH of your file or instead add contents of GMSH to the file folder.

Visualisations of data are at the core of every publication of scientific research results. They have to be as clear as possible to facilitate the communication of research. As data can have different formats and shapes, the visualisations often have to be adapted to reflect the data as well as possible. We developed Pylustrator, an interface to directly edit python generated matplotlib graphs to finalize them for publication. Therefore, subplots can be resized and dragged around by the mouse, text and annotations can be added. The changes can be saved to the initial plot file as python code.
