Ellipsis3d

Ellipsis3d is a three-dimensional version of the particle-in-cell finite element code Ellipsis, a solid modeling code for visco-elastoplastic materials. The particle-in-cell method combines the strengths of the Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations of mechanics while bypassing their limitations.

README

We are pleased to announce the version 1 release of Ellipsis3D.

See the file INSTALL for building and installation instructions.

Once you have built the package, you can test it on the chemical plume example

./ellipsis3d Examples/Ellipsis3D_2004_examples/chemical_plume.input

Let it run as long as you like. Then munge the data for OpenDX with the commands

cd Examples/opendx/scripts/ ./get_node_files_dx_format.mk ./get_particles_dx_format.mk

Now run dx on the file

Examples/opendx/chemicalplume/particles_isosurface_glyph.net

By default, it will show the first time step. Change the input files to get later time steps. You should see a picture like

Please submit bug reports by opening an issue on the geodynamics/ellipsis3d GitHub repository.

Please send all questions to the geodynamics forum at: https://community.geodynamics.org/

Ellipsis3D is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
