Triaxial compression test displacement field

Asked by maquankun

I tried to make the displacement field of the second stage of triaxial compression. I have this answer in the following question, but I have not implemented this method. Here is my code, please tell me where the error is.

Thank you for your attention!
When I start running the program, I can only generate a vtk file "-sphere-0000.vtk" at the beginning of compression, and I can't continue to generate files as the program runs.

Thanks for clarification :-)

as you have it, the vtk.exportSpheres is called just once, hence you get only one file..
To get vtk files regularly during the simulation, you have to use PyRunner [1] in O.engines and call an export function from it, something like:

####
def doExport():
   vtk.exportSpheres(...)

O.engines = [
   ...
   PyRunner(iterPeriod=1000,command="doExport()"), # you can use realPeriod or virtPeriod, see [1]
]
####

or you can do the run "in cycle":
####
for i in range(20):
   O.run(1000,True)
   vtk.exportSpheres(...)
####

cheers

Hi,
Your script executes "vtk.exportSpheres(useRef=True,what=[('dspl','b.state.displ()')])" once, and as a consequence you have one vtk snapshot saved. There is no "error" here.

If you want multiple snapshots you can:

for k in range(N): #or any other control loop
    O.run(M,1)
    vtk.exportSpheres(useRef=True,what=[('dspl','b.state.displ()')])

or insert a PyRunner in O.engines and run as usual:
O.engines=O.engines+[PyRunner(interval=M,command="vtk.exportSpheres(useRef=True,what=[('dspl','b.state.displ()')])")]
