shell_generator's Introduction

Shell Generator

Generate shell mesh with external stiffiners

Stiffiner is plate on cylinder

Input data:

Diameter of cylinder
Height cylinder
Stiffiners(Height and amount):
- Vertical
- Horizontal
Distance between points
Type of finite element : 3-node, 4-node, 6-node, 8-node finite element
TODO : different type of vertical and horizontal stiffiners
TODO : Different height of stiffiners
TODO : I-column
TODO : Imperfection - Oval, Defect
TODO : GMSH creating model

Result:

INP mesh

Console menu

Cylinder

	filename := "exampleCylinder.inp"
	// remove file //
	_ = os.Remove(filename)
	// input data //
	s := shellGenerator.Shell{Height: 5.0, Diameter: 2.0, Precision: 0.2}
	// write the result to INP format //
	err := s.GenerateINP(filename)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Wrong mesh: %v\n", err)
		return
	}

Cylinder with stiffiners

	filename := "demoCylinderWithStiffiners.inp"
	// remove file //
	_ = os.Remove(filename)
	// input data //
	var shellStiff ShellWithStiffiners
	if err := shellStiff.AddShell(Shell{Height: 5, Diameter: 2.0, Precision: 0.2}); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Wrong shell: %v\n", err)
		return
	}
	if err := shellStiff.AddStiffiners(2, 6, 0.2, 0.5); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Wrong stiffiner: %v\n", err)
		return
	}
	// write the result to INP format //
	err := shellStiff.GenerateINP(filename)

		fmt.Printf("Wrong mesh: %v\n", err)
		return
