This repo contains several finite element meshes, most of them created with Gmsh, and to be analyzed with the python code SOLIDSPy.

The input to the FEM code is given in terms of text files defining nodal data (coordinates and boundary conditions), element data (connectivities and material profile), material property data (elastic constants) and point load data (nodes and load magnitude).

The folder docs/ contains a step-by-step tutorial showing how to build a mesh using Gmsh and a scripting tool based on meshio useful for converting the mesh into text files.

The folder meshes/ contains several models. Each model consists of the .geo and .msh fils, the pre-processing subroutine based on meshio and the resulting text files.
