List Related Packages #868

Open cortner opened 10 months ago

cortner commented 10 months ago

I wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to do simple visualizations of Ferrite solutions. Eventually somebody on discourse pointed me to FerriteViz which is great. But neither the README nor the docs mention it. Maybe somebody who knows of all important packages related to Ferrite could list them somewhere?

That's a good idea! Something like this: #869 ?

Also, whenever you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out on the Slack channel #ferrite-fem or on Discourse as you did!

As discussed in #869, perhaps we could add an item under the code gallery where anyone who builds a package on top of Ferrite can make a PR to add a link to, and a short description of, their package.

Related to this: Should this only contain public packages or should we also showcase currently internally used packages which come with some publications (e.g. Maxi has one for convexification)? What about publication codes as in e.g. https://github.com/kimauth/Plastoxid.jl ?

I would also list work in progress packages, which have the actual goal to be developed long-term (as in e.g. FerriteAssembly.jl?).

It would probably be also useful to mention FerriteViz in the first tutorial, https://ferrite-fem.github.io/Ferrite.jl/dev/tutorials/heat_equation/. I initially thought the main way to visualise the solutions was with the vtk files based on the documentation there. (Precompilation of FerriteViz seems to be broken with Ferrite on master, but once it's fixed that would be good)

cc @KnutAM what do you think?

I have a PR which prepares next release here https://github.com/Ferrite-FEM/FerriteViz.jl/pull/103 . Master is just compatible with the last Ferrite release. Note that it does not have as many features as most VTK viewers.

I'd propose a reference to the post-processing how to. With my proposed intro text here (https://github.com/Ferrite-FEM/Ferrite.jl/pull/875#discussion_r1651584377) I think this will be covered?
