Old Version Tutorials

Below are the tutorials from previous releases. We will update them for the latest version of PyGeM. Meanwhile, they may still be useful for users.

Tutorial 3: Deforming a UNV File

.ipynb This tutorial shows how to deform a UNV file with prescribed continuity using Free Form Deformation.

Tutorial 6: Deforming LS-Dyna K File

.ipynb, .py This tutorial demonstrates how to deform an LS-Dyna K file with prescribed continuity using Free Form Deformation.

Tutorial 7: Deforming Kratos MDPA File

.ipynb, .py This tutorial demonstrates how to deform a Kratos Multiphysics MDPA file with prescribed continuity using Free Form Deformation.

More to Come

We plan to add more tutorials. If you want to contribute a notebook for a feature not yet covered, we will be happy to help and support you in editing!
