pyfebiopt

Python tools for FEBio optimization and postprocessing workflows.

The package is organized around three main areas:

pyfebiopt.xplt: Read FEBio .xplt result files, inspect dictionaries and mesh metadata, and slice nodal, element, face, and regional result arrays.
pyfebiopt.visualization: Build PyVista-ready datasets from pyFEBiOpt meshes and attach result arrays for postprocessing and figure generation.
pyfebiopt.optimize: Bind SciPy optimizers to FEBio simulations through templates, parameter spaces, simulation cases, adapters, storage, reporting, and monitoring.

Common imports:

from pyfebiopt.xplt import xplt
from pyfebiopt.visualization import PVBridge
from pyfebiopt import optimize as opt

For most optimization scripts, start with pyfebiopt.optimize and use xplt inside a SimulationAdapter to read the FEBio output produced at each iteration. For standalone postprocessing, start with xplt and optionally pass xp.mesh to PVBridge for plotting.
