Hypermesh #79

Closed nbetan closed 1 year ago

nbetan commented 1 year ago

What?

Add functionality to read mesh input using .fem files from Hypermesh for T3 and Q4 elements (mesh, and boundary conditions).

Why?

Improvement in the quality of the mesh and better application of BC

How?

Main addition: New lines of code in LoadMesh.m to read .fem file Secondary: Several other functions were modified to account for the new way in which boundary conditions are applied/obtained

Testing?

New test RunPlatewHole_hypermesh.m

Anything Else?

Future work: multiple materials, second order elements, and application of tractions in T6 and Q8

Changes have been made on BuildMesh_GMSH → BuilMesh_imported. Added notes on legibility and style in MasterConfigFile regarding input file and how to compute boundary conditions obtained from Hypermesh input
