Meeting Notes

2-27-25

• vectorize energy computations
• abstract away inertial force (input: old DOF, velocity, acceleration)
• remove external force in different file than TimeStepper
• check about energy initialization
• boundary condition est functions (have time as input ? -- ABAQUS disp())
• different types of integration schemes (Newmark Beta??)
• pardiso ? (pip install)
• beforeTimestep fn ?

4-16-25

Springs and ElasticEnergy

• standardize spring convention
• natural and incremental strain (spring wise)
• allow spring changes in before_step to propogate to energies

External forces

• create external force abstract class
• streamline aerodynamic calculations (for sparse)

TimeStepper

• Dictionary access to energy objects
• Line search

Visualization

• Make it both python and ipynb friendly
