November 17, 2024 - PhiPsi Version 1.56.12 Released & Added Example 19 - Crack propagation along user defined paths.

New features of this version: Bug fixes and function improvements. Click here to download.

New Example 19: The *Key_User_Defined_2D_Crack_Path keyword is used to enable propagation along pre-defined paths, in this example, cracks propaget along the letters of PhiPsi. See example 19 on the Applications page.

July 13, 2024 - A new version of PPView, a visualization tool for PhiPsi, is now available!

This version (v1.0.21) now supports direct input of Abaqus model (*.inp file). After importing the Abaqus model (*.inp file), PPView will automatically transform the Abaqus model file to PhiPsi model files. The element information, node information, boundary conditions, external forces, and materials defined in the Abaqus model file will be handled. For 2D problems, the supported element types include CPS4, CPS4R, CPS4I, CES4, and CPE4R; For 3D problems, the supported element types include C3D8, C3D8R, C3D8H, C3D8I, C3D8RH, and C3D8IH. The supported loads include concentrated force and pressure. The extracted material parameters include elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and density. Once the Abaqus model file has been read, PPView will automatically plot the model and update the kpp keyword file based on the extracted data. The PPView Help Manual can be accessed from here (PPView Help Manual).

Download PPView for Windows 10 or Windows 11 from here directly or from Google Drive / Baidu Cloud Drive / Tencent Cloud Drive.

May 1, 2024 - PPView, A visualization tool for PhiPsi, is available now!

PPView is a visualization tool for PhiPsi. It can be used to view the model defined in the PhiPsi keywords file (*.kpp), edit PhiPsi keywords file, perform a PhiPsi simulation, and view the simulation result files generated by PhiPsi. The PPView Help Manual can be accessed from here (PPView Help Manual).

Download PPView for Windows 10 or Windows 11: Google Drive / Baidu Cloud Drive / Tencent Cloud Drive.

March 21, 2024 - A useful tool to convert Abaqus inp model file to PhiPsi input files now is available!

This tool is written in Matlab and supports the generation of all necessary input files (including *.node file, *.elem file, *.boux, *.bouy, *.bouz, *.focx, *.focy, and *.focz files) for PhiPsi according to an Abaqus inp file. Therefore, users can now completely generate model using Abaqus, and then perform simulation using PhiPsi!
