OpenIFEM_workflow

This is a CMB workflow for OpenIFEM.

Note: Since OpenIFEM is a library, there is not a universal binrary file that handles all the simulation settings, at least for now. You may still need to write the c++ program to execute a specific simulation.

Installation

You can download CMB binray at (https://www.computationalmodelbuilder.org/download/)

If you would like to build CMB from source, take a look at CMB superbuild: (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmb/cmb-superbuild)

Workflow

Use OpenIFEM.sbt file

1. In CMB modelbuilder, import the parameters template by clicking Open and select OpenIFEM.sbt.

2. Load model and edit the simulation specs in attribute editor.

Or initialize an OpenIFEM project with OpenIFEM.initializer

1. In modeulbuilder, click on import operation and import OpenIFEM_initializer.py

2. An operator named OpenIFEM.initializer will appear in operations list.

3. Open the operator, select the dimension, solid and fluid models to be imported.

4. The initializer will choose the analysis based on whether you imported a solid model (solid analysis), fluid model (fluid analysis), or both (FSI analysis). The dimension setting in the attribute resource will be frozen once you create the workflow.

5. You can assign solid and fluid BC, and solid material on the corresponding models, set the parameters and export the parameters file.

Export, run, and postprocess your simulation

1. Click on export simulation and select OpenIFEM_exporter.py file to export parameters file.

2. Run your simulation.

3. You can visualize the results by enablig vtkpostprocesingmodule in module manager.
