Quick Start Examples¶

Simple examples to test your Intact.Simulation installation. Download the files, place them in a directory, and run.

Note

If clicking the Python or JSON files opens them in your browser instead of downloading, right-click the link and select “Save Link As…” or “Download Linked File”.

Geometry Files: beam.stl, end-1.stl, end-2.stl

Linear Elasticity¶

Static structural analysis of a cantilever beam under load.

Setup File: cantilever_beam.py

How to Run:

Download all geometry files and cantilever_beam.py to the same directory
Open PowerShell/Terminal and navigate to that directory:
```
cd path\to\your\directory
```
Run the example:
```
python cantilever_beam.py
```

Setup File: cantilever_beam.cpp

How to Run:

Download all geometry files and cantilever_beam.cpp to the same directory
Compile cantilever_beam.cpp with the Intact SDK using your preferred build system
Run the compiled executable

Setup File: cli_cantilever_beam.json

How to Run:

Download all geometry files and cli_cantilever_beam.json to the same directory
Open PowerShell/Terminal and navigate to that directory:
```
cd path\to\your\directory
```
Run the simulation:
```
intact -s cli_cantilever_beam.json
```

Static Thermal¶

Steady-state heat transfer analysis through a beam.

Setup File: thermal_beam.py

How to Run:

Download all geometry files and thermal_beam.py to the same directory
Open PowerShell/Terminal and navigate to that directory:
```
cd path\to\your\directory
```
Run the example:
```
python thermal_beam.py
```

Setup File: thermal_beam.cpp

How to Run:
