New question #157661 on DOLFIN: https://answers.launchpad.net/dolfin/+question/157661
Hi @all I'm a brand new user getting acquainted with FEniCS and at some point I would like to set up a FSI simulation of a deformable, ellipse-shaped particle in rectangular fluid domain. For this I would like to have a mesh with nodes on the bounding line of the ellipse. I was first trying to avoid using an external preprocessor for the mesh generation. In a demo file from cbc.solve I saw that a rectangular submesh representing a structure was extracted from the main (rectangular) mesh. Is something like this possible with a curved subdomain? I saw that a Mesh method called "snap_boundary()" exists. What is that good for, could that be used for this purpose? Or is an external mesh the only solution here? My first test efforts look as follows: from dolfin import * # Circle sub domain class Circle(SubDomain): def inside(self, x, on_boundary): return abs((x[0] - 0.5)*(x[0] - 0.5) + (x[1] - 0.5)*(x[1] - 0.5) - 0.09) \ < DOLFIN_EPS # Create mesh mesh = UnitSquare(10, 10) circle = Circle() mesh.snap_boundary(circle) The error is: TypeError: in method 'SubDomain_snap', argument 2 of type 'dolfin::Array< double > &' -- You received this question notification because you are a member of DOLFIN Team, which is an answer contact for DOLFIN. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : dolfin@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
