How to create a .prj file to simulate the two point bending experiment of beam?

How to import gmsh mesh into ogs and use phase field theory to simulate two-point bending failure experiment of beam

Dear Zenchao,

your question is actually two questions in one.

Q1: to convert gmsh mesh to ogs either you can use the tool provided form OGS (see this question ), or you can prepare a script (see this python script to have an idea what to do, please note this script is extremely not optimized )

Q2: did you try to compile the OpenGeoSys? did you manage to run a similar problem (for example Non-isothermal test )?

Hi,
I would like to let you know that our Python package - OGSTools has a functionality to convert gmsh meshes to OGS: msh2vtu.
It was around for quite a while as a stand-alone tool, but now it is integrated into OGSTools, so it is pretty well-tested in practice.
I hope it will be useful to both of you.
Best,
Feliks

Do you want to analyze it statically or do you need to perform a dynamical simulation? The latter case requires something like the beta-Newmark method, which is not yet in the current master. (However, we could probably provid an experimental branch you could compile)
