Any Python script can become a native ONELAB client by importing the onelab.py module.
Getting started
- Download and uncompress a recent version of Gmsh, or the Gmsh/GetDP bundle for Windows64, Windows32, Linux64, Linux32 or MacOSX.
- Double-click on the Gmsh executable (gmsh.exe Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationon Windows).
- Load the Python script (.py file) through the File/Open menu, e.g. the pend.py example explained below.
- Click on Run.
- ... that's it!
How does it work?
The Python ONELAB interface consists in a single Python module: onelab.py. This module comes pre-installed with Gmsh, in the same directory as the Gmsh executable. When you open a ONELAB-enabled Python solver with Gmsh, Gmsh automatically finds the onelab.py module. You can also install onelab.py in any directory of your choosing; in this case don't forget to update your PYTHONPATH environment variable.
The following example (a simple Python solver for the double pendulum problem) highlights the main features of the Python interface:#!/usr/bin/env python #coding=utf-8 # 1) launch "gmsh pend.py" # 2) there is no 2... :-) import onelab import math, os c = onelab.client(__file__) def exportMsh(le1,le2): mshFile = open(c.getPath("pend.msh"), 'w') mshFile.write('$MeshFormat\n2.2 0 8\n$EndMeshFormat\n') mshFile.write('$Nodes\n3\n1 0 0 0\n2 0 %s 0\n3 0 %s 0\n$EndNodes\n' %(-le1, -le1-le2)) mshFile.write('$Elements\n3\n1 1 2 0 1 1 2\n2 1 2 0 1 2 3\n3 15 2 0 2 3\n$EndElements\n') mshFile.close() def exportMshOpt(): optFile = open(c.getPath("pend.msh.opt"),'w') optFile.write('n = PostProcessing.NbViews - 1;\n') optFile.write('If(n >= 0)\nView[n].ShowScale = 0;\nView[n].VectorType = 5;\n') optFile.write('View[n].ExternalView = 0;\nView[n].DisplacementFactor = 1 ;\n') optFile.write('View[n].PointType = 1;\nView[n].PointSize = 5;\n') optFile.write('View[n].LineWidth = 2;\nEndIf\n') optFile.close() def exportIter(iter,t,x1,y1,x2,y2): mshFile = open(c.getPath("pend.msh"),'a') mshFile.write('$NodeData\n1\n"motion"\n1\n\t%f\n3\n\t%d\n3\n' % (t, iter)) mshFile.write('\t3\n\t1 0 0 0\n\t2 %f %f 0\n\t3 %f %f 0\n$EndNodeData\n' %(x1,y1,x2,y2)) mshFile.close() g = 9.8 # acceleration of gravity m = 0.3 # mass of pendulum balls l = c.defineNumber('Geom/arm length [m]', value=1.0) time = c.defineNumber('Dyna/time [s]', value=0.0) dt = c.defineNumber('Dyna/time step [s]', value=0.001) tmax = c.defineNumber('Dyna/max time [s]', value=20) refresh = c.defineNumber('Dyna/refresh interval [s]', value=0.1) theta0 = c.defineNumber('Init/initial theta angle [deg]', value=10, attributes={'Highlight':'Pink'}) phi0 = c.defineNumber('Init/initial phi angle [deg]', value=180, attributes={'Highlight':'Pink'}) # we're done if we are in the "check" phase if c.action == 'check' : exit(0) l1 = l; l2 = l; m1 = m; m2 = m; theta = theta0 / 180.*math.pi; phi = phi0 / 180.*math.pi; theta_dot = 0.0 phi_dot = 0.0 refr = 0.0 iter = 0 time = 0.0 while (time < tmax): delta = phi - theta sdelta = math.sin(delta) cdelta = math.cos(delta) theta_dot_dot = ( m2*l1*(theta_dot**2.0)*sdelta*cdelta + m2*g*math.sin(phi)*cdelta + m2*l2*(phi_dot**2.0)*sdelta - (m1+m2)*g*math.sin(theta) ) theta_dot_dot /= ( (m1+m2)*l1 - m2*l1*(cdelta)**2.0 ) phi_dot_dot = ( -m2*l2*(phi_dot**2.0)*sdelta*cdelta + (m1+m2)*(g*math.sin(theta)*cdelta - l1*(theta_dot**2.0)*sdelta - g*math.sin(phi)) ) phi_dot_dot /= ( (m1+m2)*l2 - m2*l2*(cdelta)**2.0 ) theta_dot = theta_dot + theta_dot_dot*dt phi_dot = phi_dot + phi_dot_dot*dt theta = theta + theta_dot*dt phi = phi + phi_dot*dt x1 = l1*math.sin(theta) y1 = -l1*math.cos(theta) x2 = l1*math.sin(theta) + l2*math.sin(phi) y2 = -l1*math.cos(theta) - l2*math.cos(phi) time += dt refr += dt exportMshOpt() if refr >= refresh: refr = 0 c.setNumber(c.name + '/Progress', value=time, min=0, max=tmax, visible=0) c.setNumber('Dyna/time [s]', value=time) c.setNumber('Solu/phi', value=phi) c.addNumberChoice('Solu/phi', phi) c.setNumber('Solu/theta', value=theta) c.addNumberChoice('Solu/theta', theta) c.setNumber('Solu/phi dot', value=phi_dot) c.addNumberChoice('Solu/phi dot', phi_dot) c.setNumber('Solu/theta dot', value=theta_dot) c.addNumberChoice('Solu/theta dot', theta_dot) # ask Gmsh to refresh c.setString('Gmsh/Action', value='refresh') # stop if we are asked to (by Gmsh) if(c.getString(c.name + '/Action') == 'stop'): break; exportMsh(l1, l2) exportIter(iter, time, x1, y1+l1, x2, y2+l1+l2) c.mergeFile(c.checkPath('pend.msh')) iter += 1 c.setNumber(c.name + '/Progress', value=0)
