Exporting FEA simulations#

This section describes how to export HelloTriangle models and simulation setups to finite element analysis (FEA) solvers.

HelloTriangle uses a simulation setup dictionary that can be written to solver-specific input formats. Each exporter documents the features it supports, and as a result the exact structure of the dictionary may vary slightly from one solver to another.

Exporting a simulation is done through the high-level save_simulation function:

save_simulation(simulation_setup, "simulation.inp")

Currently supported exporters include Abaqus and LS-DYNA. Additional exporters will be added in the future.
