  1. In #FElupe, a #python package of mine, I changed the API of a function: the output included two return variables (boundaries, loadcase), where the second one is nowadays mostly unused. So I added a new argument return_loadcase=None, which does not change the return behavior, but marked as deprecated. In a future major version, return_loadcase will be False by default. Now all users have at least one major version time to update existing scripts. Is this good practise or could this be improved?

  2. If one has a linear-elastic material in mind, one would assume this works for any kind of finite element simulations. In case of large rotations and large strains, "linear" is not unique. There are many different implementations of linear-elastic materials. Beside the mathematical details, a cube, rotated by 90° and stretched to a factor of 2, will show different deformations. You'll see a small-strain, Total-Lagrange (Saint-Venant Kirchhoff material) and the co-rotated framework as well as a compressible Neo-Hookean material model formulation.

    Reminder: don't use small-strain linear-elastic material formulations in simulations where large rotations occur - just because the strains are "small".

  11. After a summerbreak, #FElupe development continues! Stay tuned for lots of handy new features: checkpoint/restore, revolve a.k.a. axi-to-3d, simplified handling of multiple solid bodies, etc. These new features are already available in the main git branch and will be released soon.

    P.S. I'm always open for new ideas, just let me know!

  15. For much more rotations, a powerful numeric continuation method is your friend.

    The "speed" of the rotation is a result of the adaptive step-size of contique (one frame per converged step, constant framerate).

  16. 🚀🚀 FElupe is now available on conda-forge! 🚀🚀 Unfortunately, it doesn't handle optional dependencies like pip. Anyway here's a nice animation of the #hyperelastic "twisting column" example from the book of Bonet & Wood. This one works without any fancy continuation techniques, it's just Newton's method.
