Welcome to EdelweissMeshfree
EdelweissMeshfree is a light-weight, platform-independent, parallel meshfree framework for the simulation of coupled problems in solid mechanics. It is based on EdelweissFE, which is a hard dependency. Furthermore, by default, it makes use of the Marmot library for cell, material point, particle, and material formulations.
EdelweissMeshfree aims to be…
… a development and learning environment for constitutive models and meshfree methods such as the Material Point Method (MPM) and Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM),
… an easy to use tool for coupled problems,
… a very flexible tool for implementing and employing special techniques (e.g., the indirect displacement control technique), which are often more difficult and time consuming to implement in mature, MPI-parallelized codes,
… an efficient tool for nonlinear simulations up to medium sized problems (~ \(10^5\) degrees of freedom).
Execute a simulation
Unline EdelweissFE, EdelweissMeshfree does not make use of input files. All simulations are directly executed via Python scripts.
Run a simulation simply by calling
python your_simulation.py
