User guide#
The user guide is the conceptual tour of femorph-solver. Its spine is the three phases of FEA — pre-process, solve, post-process. That narrative holds whether you’re running a single modal analysis from a script or stitching together a non-trivial simulation pipeline.
Start with FEA in three phases for a one-page primer on why this structure, then dive into the phase that matches what you’re doing.
Build the model. Load or author a mesh, assign element types, materials, real constants, and boundary conditions.
Run the analysis. Choose a solver backend, then invoke static, modal, transient, or cyclic-symmetry routines.
Inspect results. Reach into ModalResult /
StaticResult / TransientResult, recover
strain / stress, export or plot with pyvista.
