Thanks a lot, now it perfectly works ! :-) Damien <div>-------- Message d'origine --------</div><div>De : "Guyer, Jonathan E.

As a result, u and v get assigned uniform values.
`from numpy import *` would be better. `from fipy.tools.numerix import *` would be better, still. `from fipy import numerix as nmx` would be best of all. > On Oct 5, 2016, at 8:32 AM, Damien CHUDEAU <damien-r.chud...@orange.fr> wrote: > > Hello everybody, > > I am a French student and I am trying to model the emergence of patterns > on the fur of animals using the Turing equations (involving the > concentrations u and v) and to code it thanks to the FiPy library.
