[python bindings] Python bindings does not provide support for AuxiliaryStateVariables #102

Closed pbouda95 closed 2 years ago

pbouda95 commented 2 years ago

Hello,

It seems that python bindings does not provide a way to handle @AuxilliaryStateVariables. I would be williful to self-assign this issue and work on it but I am not sure where I need to start.

Cheers,

BTW, I am not sure if mgis itself provides something at his roots for that ...

thelfer commented 2 years ago

@pbouda95 There is no reason for mgis to handle auxiliary state variables. The distinction between "standard" state variables and auxiliary state variables is only meaningful inside MFront, there no reason for the calling solvers (and mgis) to make such a difference (i.e. everything is a state variable from their point of view !)

pbouda95 commented 2 years ago

Hello @thelfer, I agree with you for the solver case. However, I thought it might be different if you think about mgis more as a higher level tool than mtest to perform integrations ... Thus you could have kept the same glossary as mfront and provide functions to handle them separately thereafter in a MaterialStateManager class for instance. But you've got a point :smile:

mtest does not make any difference either ! :)
