Solid mechanics

AgentFEM keeps the engineering model readable while allowing advanced constitutive and weak-form work to descend into the reusable finite-element layer.

Current routes

Route Present maturity Typical use
Linear elasticity Release workflow Small-strain static solids and first models
Thermoelasticity Engineering workflow Temperature-driven stress after thermal analysis
Compressible Neo-Hookean Engineering workflow Finite-strain hyperelastic solids
Mooney--Rivlin Experimental FEM workflow Compressible 3D solids and incompressible plane-stress sheets
Mixed displacement-pressure Neo-Hookean Experimental/engineering Near-incompressible quadratic tetrahedral solids
Small-strain J2 plasticity Engineering path Stateful elastoplastic loading with consistent tangent

Modeling sequence

  1. Select the physical study.
  2. Create or import the mesh and name physical regions.
  3. Declare the displacement field and material.
  4. Apply constraints, tractions, body forces, pressure, foundations, or distributed resultants.
  5. Select the solution step and incrementation policy.
  6. Request standard fields and histories.
  7. Accept the result only after the required verification policy passes.
