This respository contains the course content and sample code for the IMAC XLIV substructuring shortcourse. The files are organized as:
- The FBS_Example_Code folder contains the FBS examples. The Jupyter notebooks (the .ipynb files) are the example scripts. Alternatively, the FBS examples can also be reviewed on the web here.
- The Course Notes folder contains the PowerPoint files for the lectures that were given in the course.
- The Example_Scripts folder contains some example code for the different modules in the course.
Note that the contents of the .github folder, readme.md file, and fbs_example_requirements.txt file are primarily included to format the repository and deploy the FBS example webpage. These files are not required for any section of the course.
The primary dependancies for the FBS examples (except for Python and Jupyter Notebook) can be installed with the following terminal command:
pip install -r fbs_example_requirements.txt
The contents of the repository can be downloaded by clicking the <>Code button that is near the upper right of the page, then clicking "Download ZIP". The contents can also be downloaded, file-by-file if desired.
Dynamic substructuring information is available on various wikis, including the SEM Dynamic Substructuring Wiki and Wikipedia. The SEM Dynamic Substructuring Wiki includes a wealth of content, including content from several tutorials and data from the round robin testbed.
The examples in the SDynPy and pyFBS documentation may also provide additional helpful information on dynamic substructuring. While these examples show how to use the different Python packages, they also provide a significant amount of theoretical content for substructuring, the virtual point transformation, and transfer path analysis.
