finite element method - Swinging Beam example from Help. Not Understanding/Not Working


To help me understand finite element analysis with Mathematica I have been reading the Finite Element Method User Guide in Help and am stuck on the example in Coupled PDEs. Here there is a static beam problem and a swinging beam problem.


I have taken the code from the static beam problem and this works nicely


 Needs["NDSolve`FEM`"]

\[CapitalOmega] = ImplicitRegion[True, {x, y}];
mesh = ToElementMesh[\[CapitalOmega], {{0, 5}, {0, 1}}, 

   "MaxCellMeasure" -> 0.1];
vd = NDSolve`VariableData[{"DependentVariable", 
     "Space"} -> {{u, v}, {x, y}}];
sd = NDSolve`SolutionData["Space" -> ToNumericalRegion[mesh]];

bcDu0 = DirichletCondition[u[x, y] == 0, x == 0];
bcDv0 = DirichletCondition[v[x, y] == 0, x == 0];
bcNL = NeumannValue[-1, x == 5];
initBCs = 
  InitializeBoundaryConditions[vd, sd, {{bcDu0}, {bcDv0, bcNL}}];


diffusionCoefficients = 
  "DiffusionCoefficients" -> {{{{-(Y/(1 - \[Nu]^2)), 
        0}, {0, -((Y (1 - \[Nu]))/(2 (1 - \[Nu]^2)))}}, {{0, -((
         Y \[Nu])/(1 - \[Nu]^2))}, {-((Y (1 - \[Nu]))/(
         2 (1 - \[Nu]^2))), 
        0}}}, {{{0, -((Y (1 - \[Nu]))/(2 (1 - \[Nu]^2)))}, {-((
         Y \[Nu])/(1 - \[Nu]^2)), 
        0}}, {{-((Y (1 - \[Nu]))/(2 (1 - \[Nu]^2))), 
        0}, {0, -(Y/(1 - \[Nu]^2))}}}} /. {Y -> 10^3, \[Nu] -> 33/100};

initCoeffs = 
  InitializePDECoefficients[vd, sd, {diffusionCoefficients}];


methodData = InitializePDEMethodData[vd, sd];
discretePDE = DiscretizePDE[initCoeffs, methodData, sd];
split = {#[[1]] + 1 ;; #[[2]], #[[2]] + 1 ;; #[[3]]} &[
   methodData["IncidentOffsets"]];
discreteBCs = DiscretizeBoundaryConditions[initBCs, methodData, sd];
{load, stiffness, damping, mass} = discretePDE["SystemMatrices"];


DeployBoundaryConditions[{load, stiffness}, discreteBCs];

solution = LinearSolve[stiffness, load];
uif = ElementMeshInterpolation[{mesh}, solution[[split[[1]]]]];
vif = ElementMeshInterpolation[{mesh}, solution[[split[[2]]]]];
dmesh = ElementMeshDeformation[mesh, {uif, vif}];

I can plot results as follows using


 mesh["Wireframe"]

ContourPlot[uif[x, y], {x, y} \[Element] mesh, 
 ColorFunction -> "Temperature", AspectRatio -> Automatic]
ContourPlot[vif[x, y], {x, y} \[Element] mesh, 
 ColorFunction -> "Temperature", AspectRatio -> Automatic]
Show[{
  mesh["Wireframe"],
  dmesh["Wireframe"[
    "ElementMeshDirective" -> Directive[EdgeForm[Red], FaceForm[]]]]}]

to give



Mathematica graphics


All this is good but it goes wrong for me when I move onto the swinging beam which modifies the above code. I can't get this to run even if I copy directly from Help. Here is the relevant set-up code from Help


    massCoefficients = "MassCoefficients" -> {{1, 0}, {0, 1}};
initCoeffs = 
  InitializePDECoefficients[vd, 
   sd, {diffusionCoefficients, massCoefficients}];
discretePDE = DiscretizePDE[initCoeffs, methodData, sd];
{load, stiffness, damping, mass} = discretePDE["SystemMatrices"];
rayleighDamping = 0.1*mass + 0.04*stiffness;
DeployBoundaryConditions[{load, stiffness, rayleighDamping, mass}, 

  discreteBCs];
dof = methodData["DegreesOfFreedom"];
init = dinit = ConstantArray[0, {dof, 1}];
sparsity = 
  ArrayFlatten[{{mass["PatternArray"], 
     mass["PatternArray"]}, {rayleighDamping["PatternArray"], 
     rayleighDamping["PatternArray"]}}];

It is the next bit of the solution code that gets stuck. The time monitor stops around 0.00158 so I have tried running the code to 0.0015 rather than 45 as in Help but it still gets stuck.


 Dynamic["time: " <> ToString[CForm[currentTime]]]

AbsoluteTiming[
 tif = NDSolveValue[{
    mass.u''[ t] + rayleighDamping.u'[ t] + stiffness.u[ t] == load
    , u[ 0] == init, u'[ 0] == dinit}, u, {t, 0, 0.0015}
   , Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Residual"}
   , Jacobian -> {Automatic, Sparse -> sparsity}
   , EvaluationMonitor :> (currentTime = t;)
   ]]

Are there any suggestions for how to make this work?




Answer



It seems that my version of Mathematica was corrupted. I did a Shift+Control while starting Mathematica (see here for good instructions) and the code now works perfectly. Thanks to user21 and MarcoB for confirming that the code works. Wolfram Support also confirmed that the code works and suggested a restart.


Out of interest I compared a benchmark from before the Shift+Control to after the restart. The benchmark is found by running


    Needs["Benchmarking`"]
    BenchmarkReport[]

Before restart: Mathematica graphics


After restart: Mathematica graphics


As you can see I have gone from anti-penultimate to top-of-the-heap!


Thanks for the help

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
