Meshing and Visualisation Routines in the Python Version of CALFEM

Abstract: This report is the result of a masters project conducted at the Division of Structural Mechanics at Lund University. The purpose of the project was to integrate a FEM mesh generator with the Python version of the code library CALFEM and improve the mesh visualisation capabilities of said library. This report describes how the mesher software Gmsh and the visualisation library visvis were integrated with CALFEM for Python. It also describes the three Python modules pycalfem GeoData, pycalfem mesh, and pycalfem vis that were created as part of the project.
