PFEM Integrator =============== The PFEM integrator is a specialized integration method for fluid-structure interaction analysis using the Particle Finite Element Method. Description ----------- This integrator is particularly suitable for: * Fluid-structure interaction problems * Free-surface flows * Large deformation problems * Multi-physics simulations * Problems involving fluid sloshing and splashing The PFEM integrator is specifically designed to handle the coupled physics in fluid-structure interaction problems using the Particle Finite Element Method. Parameters ---------- The PFEM integrator accepts the following parameters: +----------+--------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Parameter| Description | Default | Notes | +==========+================================+==============+===========================================+ | gamma | Gamma factor | 0.5 | Optional | +----------+--------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+ | beta | Beta factor | 0.25 | Optional | +----------+--------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+ Usage Example ------------- .. code-block:: python # Create a PFEM integrator with default parameters integrator = fm.analysis.integrators.create_integrator("pfem") # Create a PFEM integrator with custom parameters integrator = fm.analysis.integrators.create_integrator("pfem", gamma=0.6, beta=0.3)
