metamaterialanalysiscode 0.1

Package for generating FEM models based on cells

Metamaterial Analysis Code

1. Introduction

This code is the core of the TFM (Final Master Project) "Simulación Mediante Elementos Finitos Del Comportamiento No Lineal De Metamateriales Auxéticos En Grandes Desplazamientos Para Uso Ingenieril." It is an OOP pacakage that allows the user to generate .fem files with the mesh of components based on metamaterial structure. This means that the material is not solid but consists of cells. Only works for Optistruct.

2. Version update

As this is the first version, there are no updates.

3. Property and License

4. Documentation

The package can be used by calling the functions that gets the different objects that are instances of the different "MACClasses" defined in the code.

Importing the package:

import metamaterialanalysiscode as mac

An example of generating a model:

material1 = mac.set_material(id=1, type="MATS1", stressstrain=tabla_strainstress1, nonlinearity="PLASTIC",
                             yieldstress=0.02)

material2 = mac.set_material(id=2, type="MAT1", e=70000, nu=0.3)

beam2 = mac.set_property(id=2, type="PBEAM", material=[material2], area=2000, i1=0.0001, i2=1, i12=1, j=1)

beam1 = mac.set_property(id=1, type="PBEAML", material=[material2], section="ROD", dim1=1.0)

cellstructure1 = mac.set_structure(type="Auxetic", djoint=5.3, dstar=-0.3, heightstar=0.3, hcapas=3,
                                   hprisma=15, stepx=10, stepy=10, nelem=4)


modelo1 = mac.set_model(modeldimensions=(150, 300, 70), cellstructure=cellstructure1, cellmaterial=[material2],
                        cellproperty=[beam1])

Printing the model into a .fem file:

modelo1.write_fem(r"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\test1_model.fem")

Generating and printing an analyisis:

enforcedispl1 = MAC.set_load(id=1, type="SPC", nodes=nodesdisp, components=[3], displacement=-0.5, load=True)

constraint1 = MAC.set_constraint(id=2, nodes=nodesdisp, components=[3], displacement=-0.5)

constraint2 = MAC.set_constraint(id=2, nodes=nodespc, components=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], displacement=0)

subcase1 = MAC.set_subcase(id=1, label="linear", loads=[enforcedispl1], constraints=[constraint1, constraint2])

analysis2 = MAC.set_analysis(model=modelo1, subcases=[subcase1])

analysis2.write_fem(r"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\test1_analysis.fem")

As all the nodes and elements are saved in two dictionaries, the user can modify coords, properties, materials, etc.

A basic knowledge of OOP is needed to understand and use the advance functionalities that the package brings

Example:

elementtodel = set()
nodetodel = set()
for elementkey in modelo1.ElementDict.keys():
    for node in modelo1.ElementDict[elementkey].Nodes:
        if node.Coords[2] < (minz+0.1) or node.Coords[2] > (maxz-0.1):
            nodetodel.add(node.ID)
            elementtodel.add(elementkey)

for elementkey in elementtodel:
    del modelo1.ElementDict[elementkey]

for nodekey in nodetodel:
    del modelo1.NodeDict[nodekey]
