Online seminars on FEniCS/MFront – Session 3

Session 3 : Friday, November 20th – 1:45pm
Thomas Helfer/Jérémy Bleyer : The MFrontGenericInterfaceSupport project and its binding with FEniCS

In this third talk, we will briefly present the MGIS (MFrontGenericInterfaceSupport, https://thelfer.github.io/mgis) project and MFront’s generic interface which enables standardized coupling with any computing code (e.g. finite-elements, FFT, etc.) thanks to bindings available in Fortran, C, Python, Julia, etc. [1].

We will then present the mgis.fenics module which enables using MFront constitutive laws inside FEniCS. In particular, we will illustrate the potentialities offered by such a binding through examples of various complexity: e.g. small-strain elastoviscoplasticity, large-strain plasticity, non-linear heat transfer, strongly coupled thermoelasticity, multiphase models, phase-field brittle fracture, etc.
