Dear Getfem users,
I am new to getFem and made my way through the demo_crack.py file in
order to use the implemented XFEM formulation.
Now I would like to set up a boundary value problem where a pressure
acts orthogonal to the surface of the discontinuity. I tried to find
some way in order to apply source terms orthogonal on the surface of the
discontinuity. In terms of the boundary condition that's as far as I got:
applied_force = 1.e7
md.add_initialized_data('Fx', [applied_force, 0]);
mim_bound1 = gf.MeshIm('levelset', mls, 'boundary(a)',
gf.Integ('IM_STRUCTURED_COMPOSITE(IM_TRIANGLE(6),3)'))
md.add_source_term_generic_assembly_brick\
(mim_bound1, 'Fx.Test_u')
I tried to use the 'Normal' keyword within the string, but since the
integration takes part within the element and the normal seems to be
defined on surfaces only, my python script failed.
Is there a way to apply Neumann Boundary conditions orthogonal to the
surface of the discontinuity?
Kind regards,
Patrick
