Towards a SPACAR implementation with a gradual learning curve
Key ideas
- provide a set of MATLAB functions for completely defining a model, running a simulation, and processing results
- focus on easy syntax
- do not expose the user to “unnecessary” features
- goal: get second-year bachelor students to analyse 3-D static flexure mechanisms, within a day after first use
Important topics
- error handling
- model definition
- available simulation results
- visualization tool
Suggestion of workflow and syntax
Pre-processing step
Analysis step
Post-processing step
List of tasks/technical challenges
FORTRAN/C++
- Spadraw
- silent mode/automatic loadsbd call
- data file to MATLAB structure
- error/warning codes (to provide to MATLAB and link to the wiki)
- * orde 0 convergence
- * element length too small
- * incorrect local y vector
- * NaN in dat file
- * filename length
- * singular mass or stiffness matrix
A single static mode (instead of modes 7, 8, 9)
Spavisual that always visualizes the (possibly incomplete) model
