Release 0.2.3

Release Note (version 0.2.3)

Developer Note

The major updates are knot theory module added to the Cosserat rod as mixin, and muscular snake example is added.

Notable Changes

• #70: Knot theory module to compute topological quantities.
• #71: Reorganize rod constructor warning messages and collect messages in log.
• #72: Muscular snake example is added.

Release 0.2.2 + Documentation

Release Note (version 0.2.2)

Developer Note

The major documentation update is finished in this version.
Constraint and finalize module are refactored to enhance readability.

Notable Changes

• #64: Core wrapper redesign. The finalizing code is refactored for easier integration.
• #65: Documentation update.
• #56: Constraint module has been refactored to include proper abstract base class. Additionally, new FixedConstraint is added for generalized fixed boundary condition.
• More test cases are added to increase code-coverage.

v0.2.1

Release Note (version 0.2.1)

Developer Note

Contact model between two different rods and rod with itself is implemented.
Testing the contact model is done through simulations. These simulation scripts can be found under
RodContactCase.
However, in future releases we have to add unit tests for contact model functions to test them and increase code coverage.

Notable Changes

• #31: Merge contact model to master PR #40 in public
• #46: The progress bar can be disabled by passing an argument to integrate.
• #48: Experimental modules are added to hold functions that are in test phase.

Release Note

Click to expand

• Rod-Rod contact and Rod self contact is added.
• Two example cases for rod-rod contact is added, i.e. two rods colliding to each other in space.
• Two example cases for rod self contact is added, i.e. plectonemes and solenoids.
• Progress bar can be disabled by passing an argument to integrate function.
• Experimental module added.
• Bugfix in callback mechanism
