The setup of the model of the cantilever is complete. As already mentioned before, the calculation of the displacement of the cantilever is carried out using the Kratos Multiphysics framework.
The computation can be performed directly in GiD, if Kratos is linked to it, or it can be started from the command line. We proceed by showing both the approaches.
Running Kratos within GiD
To perform the simulation by running Kratos within GiD, click in the top
toolbar on Calculate → Calculate, as shown in the image below.
After the calculation is completed, one can find in the project folder the following files (among others):
MainKratos.pyProjectParamters.jsonParticleMaterials.jsonproject_name_Body.mdpa-
project_name_Grid.mdpa project_name_Body.post.resproject_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.
Running Kratos from the command line
In the top toolbar, click on Kratos → Write Calculation Files - No Run.
The following files are generated in the project folder:
MainKratos.pyProjectParamters.jsonParticleMaterials.jsonproject_name_Body.mdpaproject_name_Grid.mdpa
These files contain the data and settings required for the calculation of the problem with Kratos.
Then, open the terminal, navigate to the project folder and execute the command
python MainKratos.py
During the simulation process, the files project_name_Body.post.res and
project_name_Grid.post.bin are generated. These files contain essential
calculation results and are used for post-processing.
