Here it is !
Thank you very much Andriy ! It is so fast now!
F = Rho * W^2 * Distance_with_center.*Projection_On_[x
or y]

'VolumicData', mfd, [FX;FY]);
gf_model_set(md,

Have a nice day,

Dear Simon,
OK, I understand you cannot use axisymmetry. Yes, you can assign any source term in one step. Source term
brick doesn't assign force, it assigns traction or volume specific force, hence you don't need to calculate the area/volume of the element, as the _expression_
you are going to calculate is going to be integrated over the the element (hence, multiplied by the volume/area already).
So, you don't set the _expression_ on the nodes, it will be integrated and subsequently assembled into the nodes.
One way I think you can assign centrifugal body force is by setting the source term _expression_ simply as "constant * X". High level assembly
treats "X" as a vector of coordinates. So,
"constant * X" gives you a force with magnitude "R * constant" directed away from (0, 0).
I hope this helps,
Andriy

Dear Andriy,
Thank you for your quick answer,
Unfortunately, my mesh is not axisymmetric. I need to take into account the 2D shape of my mesh.
My question was about the ways of applying centrifugal force on it.
But here may be one solution : I just noticed that if I use the standard source term brick I can apply all the forces I previously calculated on the nodes in only one step!
But I don’t understand why the applied force resulting is so low.
gf_model_set(md, 'add initialized fem data', 'VolumicData', mfd,[Fx_On_nodes,Rotor.Fy_On_nodes] );
gf_model_set(md, 'add source term brick', mim, 'u', ['VolumicData']);
Do you have any idea ? Or another way to do so ?
Thank you again for your help,
Simon

Dear Simon,
I think one way to greatly speed up your program is to take into account the axi-symmetry of your problem.
Getfem fully supports it. That would mean that you can reduce your 2D problem to 1D.
You can create a simple line mesh, but using a type torus_mesh and subsequently create torus_mesh_fem on it.
Then you need to apply your force on a single edge/point of your mesh.
Best regards,
Andriy

Hi all,
I am asking for help again about my computation, that now works fine thanks to you, but slowly.
My 2D mesh represents a part that is spinning around a point (0,0).
To considerate the centrifugal force, I now calculate the area of each element, and apply a force using “source term brick” on its boundaries.
The problem is that add 2000 sources terms for 2000 elements is slow.
Do you have any idea of which brick I need to use to set the force in one step ?
The centrifugal force is described this way : “ F=constant*R “ where R is the distance between the rotation point and the element.
To get an idea about my actual code, here it is :
Setting all the regions by locating the faces
for i = 1:NumberOfElements
ftri_rand = get(rot_mesh,'faces from cvid',(i+1));
rot_mesh.set_region(i, ftri_rand);
end
Applying a force on each region
for i = 1: NumberOfElements
gf_model_set(md, 'add initialized data', ['VolumicData' num2str(i)], [Fx_tri(i), Fy_tri(i)]./Perimeter(i));
gf_model_set(md, 'add source term brick', mim, 'u', ['VolumicData' num2str(i)], i);
end
Thank you again for your help,
