[Dune-devel] Non linear mechanics, Dune, MFront

[HELFER Thomas 202608]

Dear Olivier, Christian, and others,

As a first step, I plan to build a simple tensile test on a unit element and
see how I can interface MFront with it, probably using the MGIS project
(https://github.com/thelfer/MFrontGenericInterfaceSupport). I expect that
if I manage to get this working, I will have a global overview of DUNE
internals and will be able to use any MFront behaviours in real-work
structural cases.

To do this, I am currently reading the dune-fem introduction. If anyone has
some documentation of what is already available in the non linear mechanics side,
let me know, it may save me a valuable amount of time.

I hope to be able to grab my hand on dune rapidly, once I will have overcome a little trouble with the source
installer (for the moment I wish to report this trouble, but I have not found what is the most relevant project in
which opening the issue, as the installer is hosted on a private repository).

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

while I don't use code generation at all, I work in nonlinear mechanics,
so what you plan is of interest to me.

Best,
Oliver
