User sub routines (Groovy): How to proceed?

I/O parameters: operating

This is the different stages to use an user sub routine to model an I/O parameter.

Stage Description Example
1 User creates a new I / O parameter.
2

User selects:

  • a name for the physical parameter
  • parameter defined by a formula

Then, he clicks on the editor of formula.
3 User clicks on the “User” button. Then, he may enter the arguments that he wants into the “User” function.
4 Clicking on the “Edit user function” button, Flux opens the file “PhysicalParameter.groovy” into the Python editor.
5 User may code the program he wants.  
6

Once his program is written, user has to save his file.

Then, the Groovy file is stocked in the current Flux project (…\persistent\groovy).

Material properties: operating

This is the different stages to use an user sub routine to model the properties of a material.

Stage Description Example
1 User creates a new material.
2

User selects:

  • a name for the material
  • the law he wants to code
  • the user property of this law
3

Then, user selects the type of his material:

  • linear
  • non linear
  • hysteretic
4

Then, user selects the number and the values of:

  • user coefficients
  • I/O parameters
  • spatial quantities
5

When user clicks on the “Edit user function” button, Flux opens into the Python editor, the file:

  • “MaterialLaw.groovy” for a non-hysteretic property
  • “HysteresysMaterialLaw.groovy” for an hysteretic property
6 User may code the program he wants.  
7

Once his program is written, user has to save his file.

Then, the Groovy file is stocked in the current Flux project (…\persistent\groovy).
