Hi Michael

I'm the thread starter. Good point that one could look in MATLAB for inspiration.

I am not so much interested in creating a FEA program (or API) myself in Scilab, but if anything exist today which to some extent is in development or service (maintenance), then I'd be inclined to try this.

... Conclusion seems to be, this is not the case.

Best regards,
Claus

Federico,
This isn't really an answer but I have in hand a book;

"Introduction to  Finite and Spectral Element Methods Using MATLAB",
 C.Pozrikidis,     CRC Press,    2014     ISBN978.1.4822.0915.0
It might provide models for coding even if the dialect is different.

Mike.

Dear fellow Scilabers

There are various initiatives and possibly demonstration projects for implementing Finite Element algorithms and Analysis in Scilab. Please help me by providing pointers.

What I'd like to simulate is the suspension of a loudspeaker (the cloth spider which essentially centers the voice coil in the air gap), in particular I wish to calculate a force-deflection curve.

In my particular case, I'd like to describe the spider as a collection of line segments (straight lines as well as circular sections). This description represents a cross section view of the spider. For proper modeling, this is an axisymmetric model of the spider.

I have a simple description of what I'd like to do in Scilab, but done in a software named Mecway. The PDF is 650 kb (4 pages). I am worried about attaching such a document to the User Group here in general, but I can of course send it on request. In Mecway the axisymmetric model is expanded into 3D with hex8 elements (it looks like a basic cubic element). The force-function is applied in 40 time steps. It looks like 40 x basic static analysis.

Please let me know what you think would be suitable for solving this problem. Is there a suitable ATOMS library?

Best regards,
Claus
