sfepy.discrete.conditions module

The Dirichlet, periodic and linear combination boundary condition classes, as well as the initial condition class.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.Condition(name, **kwargs)

Common boundary condition methods.

canonize_dof_names(self, dofs)

Canonize the DOF names using the full list of DOFs of a variable.

Assumes single condition instance.

iter_single(self)

Create a single condition instance for each item in self.dofs and yield it.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.Conditions(objs=None, **kwargs)

Container for various conditions.

canonize_dof_names(self, dofs)

Canonize the DOF names using the full list of DOFs of a variable.

static from_conf(conf, regions)

group_by_variables(self, groups=None)

Group boundary conditions of each variable. Each condition is a group is a single condition.

Parameters

groupsdict, optional

If present, update the groups dictionary.

Returns

outdict

The dictionary with variable names as keys and lists of single condition instances as values.

sort(self)

Sort boundary conditions by their key.

zero_dofs(self)

Set all boundary condition values to zero, if applicable.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.EssentialBC(name, region, dofs, key='', times=None)

Essential boundary condidion.

Parameters

namestr

The boundary condition name.

regionRegion instance

The region where the boundary condition is applied.

dofsdict

The boundary condition specification defining the constrained DOFs and their values.

keystr, optional

The sorting key.

timeslist or str, optional

The list of time intervals or a function returning True at time steps, when the condition applies.

zero_dofs(self)

Set all essential boundary condition values to zero.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.InitialCondition(name, region, dofs, key='')

Initial condidion.

Parameters

namestr

The initial condition name.

regionRegion instance

The region where the initial condition is applied.

dofsdict

The initial condition specification defining the constrained DOFs and their values.

keystr, optional

The sorting key.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.LinearCombinationBC(name, regions, dofs, dof_map_fun, kind, key='', times=None, arguments=None)

Linear combination boundary condidion.

Parameters

namestr

The boundary condition name.

regionslist of two Region instances

The constrained (master) DOFs region and the new (slave) DOFs region. The latter can be None if new DOFs are not field variable DOFs.

dofsdict

The boundary condition specification defining the constrained DOFs and the new DOFs (can be None).

dof_map_funstr

The name of function for mapping the constrained DOFs to new DOFs (can be None).

kindstr

The linear combination condition kind.

keystr, optional

The sorting key.

timeslist or str, optional

The list of time intervals or a function returning True at time steps, when the condition applies.

arguments: tuple, optional

Additional arguments, depending on the condition kind.

canonize_dof_names(self, dofs0, dofs1=None)

Canonize the DOF names using the full list of DOFs of a variable.

Assumes single condition instance.

get_var_names(self)

Get names of variables corresponding to the constrained and new DOFs.

class sfepy.discrete.conditions.PeriodicBC(name, regions, dofs, match, key='', times=None)

Periodic boundary condidion.

Parameters

namestr

The boundary condition name.

regionslist of two Region instances

The master region and the slave region where the DOFs should match.

dofsdict

The boundary condition specification defining the DOFs in the master region and the corresponding DOFs in the slave region.

matchstr

The name of function for matching corresponding nodes in the two regions.

keystr, optional

The sorting key.

timeslist or str, optional

The list of time intervals or a function returning True at time steps, when the condition applies.

canonize_dof_names(self, dofs)

Canonize the DOF names using the full list of DOFs of a variable.

Assumes single condition instance.

sfepy.discrete.conditions.get_condition_value(val, functions, kind, name)

Check a boundary/initial condition value type and return the value or corresponding function.
