ANN: SfePy 2009.3 released
I am pleased to announce release 2009.3 of SfePy. Description --- SfePy (simple finite elements in Python) is a software, distributed under the BSD license, for solving systems of coupled partial differential equations by the finite element method. The code is based on NumPy and SciPy packages. Mailing lists, issue tracking, git repository: http://sfepy.org Home page: http://sfepy.kme.zcu.cz Highlights of this release -- Finally, SfePy has a basic support for Windows installation via numpy distutils: - still very experimental! - the tests will not finish if umfpack is not installed, as the default direct solver in scipy cannot handle some problems (see recent sfepy-devel mailing list discussions). Major improvements -- - new scripts: - cylindergen.py: cylindrical mesh generator - updated scripts: - postproc.py: - quite usable now for fast first glance at the results - plots point, cell data of all kinds (scalar, vector, tensor) - Viewer is much more configurable - probe.py: - can probe selected quantities only - isfepy: - Viewer is much more configurable - new tests and terms Applications - phononic materials: - plotting improved - caching of eigen-problem solution and Christoffel acoustic tensor - schroedinger.py: - choose and call DFT solver via solver interface People who contributed to this release: Vladimir Lukes.

ANN: gensei-2009.2 released
I am pleased to announce release 2009.2 of gensei (generator of serial images). http://code.google.com/p/gensei/ What does it do? The code generates images corresponding to slices of a block specimen filled with ellipsoids of known geometrical properties such as the volume fraction within the block, dimensions, volumes of individual ellipsoids, a length-to-width ratio and number. Why? Its purpose is to verify results, obtained by various software for reconstructing 3D data (e.g. a living tissue microstructure) given a set of 2D slices using usually stereological methods, on a dataset with well-defined and known properties. Release notes - This is the first public release. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
