4. Calculation
By now, the setup of the model of the cantilever is complete. To calculate the displacement of the cantilever, click in the top toolbar on Calculate→Calculate, as shown in the image below.
Then the calculation of the problem is carried out. As already mentioned in the first paragraph, the calculation is done within the KRATOS Multiphysics framework. More information on the material point method and its implementation within KRATOS is available under MPMApplication.
After the calculation, one can find in the project folder the following files (among others):
- MainKratos.py
- ProjectParamters.json
- ParticleMaterials.json
- project_name_Body.mdpa
-
project_name_Grid.mdpa
- project_name_Body.post.res
- project_name_Grid.post.bin
The files MainKratos.py, ProjectParamters.json, ParticleMaterials.json, project_name_Body.mdpa and project_name_Grid.mdpa contain the data that is required for the calculation of the problem with KRATOS.
The last two files project_name_Body.post.res and project_name_Grid.post.bin contain essential results of the calculation and are used in the post-processing.
