Installation

This is optional, but we suggest you to create a dedicated virtual enviroment at all times to avoid conflicts with your other projects. Create a folder, open a command shell in that folder and use the following command

>>> python -m venv venv_name

Once the enviroment is created, activate it via typing

>>> .\venv_name\Scripts\activate

PolyMesh can be installed (either in a virtual enviroment or globally) from PyPI using pip on Python >= 3.6:

>>> pip install polymesh

Testing

To run all tests, open up a console in the root directory of the project and type the following

>>> python -m unittest

Dependencies

must have

• Numba, NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, awkward

optional

• networkx : For graph analysis. Example application is the calculation of optimal elimination paths for the frontal solution technique.

• pyvista : PyVista is essential for visualizing in 3d. It is an easy access to vtk, which is a well-known member of the community. PolyMesh can translate complex models into pyvista or vtk objects any time, providing access to a host of 3rd party accessories.

• meshio : For transformation to and from many mesh formats.
