gsKLShell | Module for the isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell element

gsKLShell is a Jupyter Notebook library. gsKLShell has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Module for the isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell element. The module is based on gismo's Expression Assembler gsExprAssembler. The gsKLShell module consists of the classes. See the doxygen manuals for more information about the classes. (to do: add link). To use the gsKLShell module, one should always define a gsMaterialMatrix and a gsThinShellAssembler. The gsMaterialMatrix object is used to compute the constitutive relations in the gsThinShellAssembler and should therefore be defined upon initialisation of this class. Additionally, the geometry and the deformed geometry (both gsMultiPatch) together with a basis (gsMultiBasis) and the boundary conditions (gsBoundaryConditions) and a surface force (gsFunctionExpression) should be provided in the definition of the class. The template parameters of the class are the dimension of the geometry (dim) which is 2D (planar) or 3D (surface) and a flag for the computation of bending stiffness term (bending) which is only relevant if dim==3. Other options that can be set are follower pressures (setPressure), elastic foundation stiffness (setFoundation) and point loads (setPointLoads).
