Dear all To describe a brain geometrical space contrains, I have three meshes part in my python script
meshb=gf.Mesh('import','gid','brainr25tet4h5.GiD.msh') meshtf=gf.Mesh('import','gid','tentoriumfalxr25h5.GiD.msh') meshh=gf.Mesh('import','gid','headr25tet4h5.GiD.msh') meshb and mesh are 3d and meshtf is a fine membrane described by a triangle mesh surface mesh and meshtf are attached at several places (nodes in common), how do I ensure that the fem takes this boundary condition in account? To set up that the brain is sliding without friction inside the head, I wrote the following python lines fbb = meshb.outer_faces() # Boundary of the brain fbh = meshh.outer_faces() # Boundary of the head HEAD_BOUND = 1; BRAIN_BOUND = 2; # selection of faces for contact condition meshh.set_region(HEAD_BOUND, fbh) meshb.set_region(BRAIN_BOUND, fbb) md.add_penalized_contact_between_nonmatching_meshes_brick(mim3h, uh, ub, datanamer, HEAD_BOUND, BRAIN_BOUND, 1, lambda1_n) Is it a good option? How to choose the parameters datanamer and lambda1? I would like the brain to slide along the whole meshtf. How to define a set of faces that contains the entire triangles mesh?
