Hi All,
I think for some reason, my e-mail below never made it to the mailing
list ([email protected]), at least it does not seem to show up on "gmane".
Perhaps it is because I used the wrong e-mail address in the "from"
field? Anyway, I hope it makes it through this time. I am beginning to
get more and more intrigued with FiPy, but the questions below keep me
from fully committing time to it. If you have any answers, even bits and
pieces, I would greatly appreciate them. I was unable to solve these
questions by going through the two manuals.
Many Thanks and Regards,
Matt Koch
Hi All,
I have a couple of questions about FiPy.
1) I have used some meshing functions that allow extraction of the
left, right, bottom and top boundaries of a rectangular mesh. However,
if I want to work off of GMsh meshes, I need to be able to extract
boundaries (and domains) by GMsh's "Physical Line", "Physical Surface"
and/or "Physical Volume" ID numbers. Can that be done in FiPy? In
other words, how would I assign a constant flux boundary condition to
GMsh "Physical Line" 25, for example?
2) I have seen constant flux and constant temperature boundary
conditions, but how would I assign something like the typical
convective & radiative boundary condition, i.e. -kdT/dn = h(T-T0) +
s(T^4-T0^4), which is a combination of both constant flux and constant
temperature?
3) I understand that the FIPY_VIEWER environment variable can be set
to the preferred viewer. However, is there a way I could invoke my
favorite viewer straight from the Python script, without having to
rely on this environment variable?
Thanks,
Matt Koch
