Solid Mechanics¶

Solid mechanics examples are promoted public FEA workflows when they are listed in examples/PUBLIC_EXAMPLES_CONTRACT.yaml and ship the flat result bundle required by docs/user_guide/example_contract.md.

Public path¶

Use YAML configurations for reproducible runs:

python -m phast run examples/solid_mechanics_beta/linear_plate/config.yaml --validate-only
python -m phast run examples/solid_mechanics_beta/linear_plate/config.yaml --output_dir runs/linear_plate
python -m phast run examples/solid_mechanics_beta/neohookean_plate/config.yaml --output_dir runs/neohookean_plate
python -m phast run examples/solid_mechanics_beta/j2_bar/config.yaml --output_dir runs/j2_bar

Use the fluent phast.Problem API to author new solid mechanics setups, then promote reproducible examples through checked-in YAML configurations once the runner, outputs, and tests are covered.

Expected outputs¶

Promoted solid mechanics examples should include run_manifest.json, visual_manifest.json, initial_conditions.png, response.csv, response.png, thumbnail.png, and the field plots listed in the public example contract. Inspect completed runs with:

import phast

result = phast.load_result("runs/linear_plate")
print(result.metadata())
print(result.history_names())
print(result.visuals())

Boundary¶

The public J2 bar is a promoted solid-mechanics example, not a claim that every coupled elastoplastic phase-field/cohesive workflow is production-ready. Check the capability matrix before combining solid mechanics with beta plasticity/interface features.
