PolyFEM Python Data

This repository stores runnable Python examples for polyfem-python.

It is intended to be checked out as the examples/ submodule inside polyfem-python:

git submodule update --init --recursive examples

Layout

These examples import:

from polyfempy.runtime import solve
from polyfempy.generated_api import generated_api as polyfem

They also read source JSON files and meshes from polyfem-data/contact. By default, the helper scripts look for a sibling polyfem-data checkout:

inside polyfem-python/examples, this resolves to polyfem-python/polyfem-data;
in a standalone python_data checkout, this resolves to polyfem-data next to python_data.

To use a different location, set:

export POLYFEM_DATA_ROOT=/path/to/polyfem-data

On PowerShell:

$env:POLYFEM_DATA_ROOT = "C:\path\to\polyfem-data"

From this repository root:

python classic_example/2D/contact_2d_golf_ball_generated_api.py

From the parent polyfem-python repository root:

python examples/classic_example/2D/contact_2d_golf_ball_generated_api.py

Example outputs are written under the corresponding *_examples_outputs/ directory and are ignored by Git.
