Add FEM Equation Tutorial/de

In diesem Tutorium werden wir die Fließgeschwindigkeit zu FreeCAD hinzufügen und die Unterstützung für den Elmer Löser einführen. Bitte stelle sicher, dass du Extend FEM Module gelesen und verstanden hast, bevor du dieses Tutorium liest.

Die Aufgabe kann in vier Teile aufgeteilt werden. Der erste Schritt besteht darin, den FEM Arbeitsbereich auf einen neuen Gleichungstyp aufmerksam zu machen. Dieser Schritt muss nur durchgeführt werden, wenn die Gleichung in FreeCAD jetzt nicht existiert (im Gegensatz zu einer Gleichung, die bereits in FreeCAD existiert, aber vom Ziellöser nicht unterstützt wird). Der zweite Schritt besteht darin, ein konkretes Dokumentobjekt hinzuzufügen, das die Elmer spezifische Gleichung repräsentiert. Der dritte Schritt besteht darin, dem Löserobjekt von elmer Unterstützung für die neue Gleichung hinzuzufügen. Danach muss der Analyseexport von elmer erweitert werden, um den neuen Gleichungstyp zu unterstützen.

New Equation Type
In this step we are going to modify the following files: The equation type is shared among all equation objects of the different solver. Each type has a string specifier (e.g. &quot;Heat&quot;) and a dedicated command that adds the equation to the selected solver. This allows for a simpler GUI where we have only one button for the heat equation which is used for all supported solver.
 * src/Mod/Fem/femsolver/equationbase.py
 * src/Mod/Fem/femcommands/commands.py
 * src/Mod/Fem/Gui/Workbench.cpp
 * src/Mod/Fem/Gui/Resources/Fem.qrc

First add the new equation to the module. Each equation requires two classes. A document proxy and a view proxy. Just copy-paste them from an existing equation type and adjust the icon path inside getIcon(self) of the view proxy. class FlowProxy(BaseProxy): pass

class FlowViewProxy(BaseViewProxy): def getIcon(self): return &quot;:/icons/FEM_EquationFlow.svg&quot;

Those two classes will later be used as base classes for the Elmer specific equation classes. In addition to those base classes we have to create a new command class that adds a flow equation to the selected solver object. Additionally, the new .svg image has to be registered for the GUI-button with in {{incode|Fem.qrc} (in ). The related .svg has to be put into.

The command should be added to the module. Just copy an existing command and adjust the icon, menu text and tool-tip in __init__(self). Don't forget to register the command at the bottom of the module file by using the addCommand(...) method. Please see the discussion in the forum at https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=46693&start=10#p402004 if icons are involed. class _EquationFlow(CommandManager): "The FEM_EquationFlow command definition"

def __init__(self): super(_EquationFlow, self).__init__ self.menuetext = "Flow equation" self.tooltip = "Creates a FEM equation for flow" self.is_active = "with_solver_elmer" self.do_activated = "add_obj_on_gui_selobj_noset_edit" ... FreeCADGui.addCommand(   "FEM_EquationFlow",    _EquationFlow )

Our newly created command still needs to be made accessible via the GUI of the FEM workbench. To add it to the toolbar search for the following code snippet in and add the new command to the rest of the equation commands. Gui::ToolBarItem* solve = new Gui::ToolBarItem(root); solve->setCommand("Solve"); *solve << "FEM_SolverCalculixCxxtools" << "FEM_SolverCalculiX" << "FEM_SolverElmer" << "Separator" << "FEM_EquationElasticity" << "FEM_EquationElectrostatic" +         << "FEM_EquationFlow" << "FEM_EquationFluxsolver" << "FEM_EquationElectricforce" << "FEM_EquationHeat" << "Separator" << "FEM_SolverControl" << "FEM_SolverRun"; We are also going to add the flow equation command to the solve menu of the FEM workbench. To do this insert our equation into the following code snippet in. Gui::MenuItem* solve = new Gui::MenuItem; root->insertItem(item, solve); solve->setCommand("&Solve"); *solve << "FEM_SolverCalculixCxxtools" << "FEM_SolverCalculiX" << "FEM_SolverElmer" << "FEM_SolverZ88" << "Separator" << "FEM_EquationElasticity" << "FEM_EquationElectrostatic" +         << "FEM_EquationFlow" << "FEM_EquationFluxsolver" << "FEM_EquationElectricforce" << "FEM_EquationHeat" << "Separator" << "FEM_SolverControl" << "FEM_SolverRun";

Elmers Equation Object
In this step we are going to modify the following file: and add the following new file: Lets start with the module that implements the document object. In can be copied from an existing equation. If the new equation only supports keywords for linear systems copy the module. If it supports non-linear keywords too copy. The flow equation in Elmer is a potentially non-linear equation. This means that we are going to base our work on.
 * src/Mod/Fem/CMakeLists.txt
 * src/Mod/Fem/femsolver/elmer/equations/flow.py

After copying to  adjust - the name argument of the create module function, - the Type attribute of the Proxy class, - the base classes of the  and the  classes, - and the properties added via the  function to those needed by the equation. def create(doc, name=&quot;Flow&quot;): return femutils.createObject(       doc, name, Proxy, ViewProxy)

class Proxy(nonlinear.Proxy, equationbase.FlowProxy):

Type = &quot;Fem::EquationElmerFlow&quot;

def __init__(self, obj): super(Proxy, self).__init__(obj) obj.Priority = 10

class ViewProxy(nonlinear.ViewProxy, equationbase.FlowViewProxy): pass At the moment of writing this tutorial Elmers flow equation doesn't have any special properties. See Elmers elasticity equation for an example with properties.

Last but not least register the new module file in CMakeLists.txt the way described in Extend FEM Module. The suitable lists can be easily found by searching for existing equation modules files of Elmer.

Extend Solver Object
In this step we are going to modify the following file: Right now we made FreeCAD aware that there is a new type of equation and even added a command that adds this equation to the selected solver object. We also implemented a concrete equation object for Elmer. Whats left to do now it to make the connection between Elmer and the flow equation. This must be done directly in Elmers solver object.
 * src/Mod/Fem/femsolver/elmer/solver.py

Register the module in which we just implemented our new equation object with the equation specifier from step 1 (&quot;Flow&quot;) in the  list in. _EQUATIONS = { &quot;Heat&quot;: heat, &quot;Elasticity&quot;: elasticity, +   &quot;Flow&quot;: flow, }

Extend Analysis Export
In this step we are going to modify the following file: This is the most demanding part of implementing a new equation. This file contains the class which exports the analysis into Elmers sif format.
 * src/Mod/Fem/femsolver/elmer/writer.py

For every supported equation there are a series of methods handling the export of the respective equation. Just copy all of them from an existing equation and adjust them to your needs. Our flow equation uses the following methods:
 * _handleFlow
 * _getFlowSolver
 * _handleFlowConstants
 * _handleFlowMaterial
 * _handleFlowInitialVelocity
 * _handleFlowBndConditions
 * _handleFlowEquation
