Flexodeal Lite

This is a reduced version of the Flexodeal library which has been structured to follow deal.II tutorial guidelines.

It is intended to simulate the deformation of a block of muscle tissue (similar to a biopsy). The stress response has been simplified to include contributions from muscle fibres (Hill-type model) and the base material (hyperelastic, Yeoh).

How to use it?

• Make sure you have properly set up deal.II v9.3 and its dependencies. For more information, visit their website.
• Clone the repository using your SSH keys: git clone git@github.com:javieralmonacid/flexodeal.git. Download the repository as a .zip if you do not want to track your changes or you do not have a GitHub account.
• Navigate to the Flexodeal folder using cd.
• Call CMake:
  • In release mode: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDEAL_II_DIR=<path/to/deal.II>.
  • In debug mode: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DDEAL_II_DIR=<path/to/deal.II>.
• Call make. A simple call to make should suffice.
• Run the code. This either achieved by calling make run or ./dynamic-muscle. A folder with the current timestamp will be created. This is where the results of your execution will be stored.
