Trial Run with Scripted MPM Input
These scripted commands can be tried out by copying all the commands and pasting them into an empty window in NairnFEAMPM or in NairnFEAMPMViz. When done, choose the "Analyze → Run FEA/MPM Analysis" menu command. The results will stream to a window. When they are done, you can visualize the results. These sample calculations are for two disks approach each other, impacting, and the bouncing back. The image below shows plot of stress in the x-direction in the middle of the impact event:

Trial Run with XML MPM Input
These XML commands can be tried in NairnFEAMPM or NairnFEAMPMViz as described above. Alternatively, they can be used to try out command line execution. To do a command-line trial run, first compile NairnMPM using the command-line method, which will install the executable in the NairnMPM/input folder. Next, run the following commands:
cd nairn-mpm-fea/NairnMPM/input ./NairnMPM XML_Input/TwoDisks.fmcmd > TwoDisks.mpm
The first command cd's to the nairn-mpm-fea project folder with the executable and a folder with an example XML input file TwoDisks.fmcmd. The second command runs the MPM calculations. These sample calculations are for two disks approach each other, impacting, and then bouncing back. The outfile file TwoDisks.mpm will have the plain text output results and archived results at various times will be in a Two_Disks_Results folder. To verify the results, open the new Cantilever.fea in your visualization tools (e.g., NairnFEAMPM or NairnFEAMPMViz). A sample plot of stresses during impact given above.
