</details>

**FiberMat** is a mechanical solver to simulate fiber packing and perform statistical analysis. It generates realistic 3D fiber mesostructures and computes internal forces and deformations.

This code is the result of thesis work that can be found in:

  dissertation, École centrale de Nantes).](https://theses.hal.science/tel-04189271/)

## Installation

Requirements:

![Python versions](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8%20|%203.9%20|%203.10%20|%203.11-blue)

### Install the package with Pip

Run the following commands:
```shell
# Install `FiberMat`
pip install fibermat

# Try it out
python -c "import fibermat"

```

### Install the package in an Anaconda environment

1. Create a conda environment:
    ```shell
    # Create conda environment
    conda create -n fibermat python=3.11

    # Activate the environment
    conda activate fibermat

    # Optional
    pip install jupyter

    ```

2. Install FiberMat:
    ```shell
    # Install `FiberMat`
    pip install --upgrade fibermat

    # Try it out
    python -c "import fibermat"

    ```

3. To leave `fibermat` environment, run ``conda deactivate``.

### Directly from the sources

Clone the repository and run `pip` command:
```shell
# Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:fmahe/fibermat.git
cd ./fibermat

# Install `FiberMat`
pip install --upgrade .

```

### Build the sources

FiberMat's documentation is created using [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) [<sup>[1]</sup>](#note-1).

1. Clone the repository:
    ```shell
    # Clone the repository
    git clone git@github.com:fmahe/fibermat.git
    cd ./fibermat

    ```

2. Install dependencies required to compile documentation:

    - Install the packages listed in `requirements.txt` with Pip:
        ```shell
        # Install dependencies
        pip install -r requirements.txt

        ```

    - Alternatively, you can create a new environment that already meets the requirements:
        ```shell
        # Create an environment from the `environment.yml` file
        conda env create -n fibermat -f ./environment.yml

        # Activate the environment
        conda activate fibermat

        ```

3. Execute `./make` script:
    ```shell
    # Build the sources
    ./make --all

    ```

4. Test the library:
    ```shell
    pytest

    ```

## Documentation

See the tutorial in `jupyter-notebook.ipynb`.

## Example

```python
from fibermat import *

# Generate a set of fibers
mat = Mat(100, length=25., width=2., thickness=0.5, size=50., shear=1., tensile=2500.)
# Build the fiber network
net = Net(mat, periodic=True)
# Stack fibers
stack = Stack(net, threshold=10)
# Create the fiber mesh
mesh = Mesh(stack)

# Solve the mechanical packing problem
sol = solve(Model(mesh), packing=4.)

# Export as VTK
msh = vtk_mesh(
    mesh,
    sol.displacement(1),
    sol.rotation(1),
    sol.force(1),
    sol.torque(1),
)
msh.plot(scalars="force", cmap=plt.cm.twilight_shifted)
msh.save("outputs/msh.vtk")

```
