# 41. `fe` — Finite Element Models in pyFormex.

Finite element models are geometrical models that consist of a unique set of nodal coordinates and one of more sets of elements.

`Classes defined in module fe`

class `fe.` `Model`(coords, elems)

  Contains all FE model data.

  `nnodes`()

    Return the number of nodes in the model.

  `nelems`()

    Return the number of elements in the model.

  `ngroups`()

    Return the number of element groups in the model.

  `mplex`()

    Return the maximum plexitude of the model.

  `splitElems`(set)

    Splits a set of element numbers over the element groups.

    Returns two lists of element sets, the first in global numbering, the second in group numbering. Each item contains the element numbers from the given set that belong to the corresponding group.

  `elemNrs`(group, set)

    Return the global element numbers for elements set in group

  `getElems`(sets)

    Return the definitions of the elements in sets.

    sets should be a list of element sets with length equal to the number of element groups. Each set contains element numbers local to that group.

    As the elements can be grouped according to plexitude, this function returns a list of element arrays matching the element groups in self.elems. Some of these arrays may be empty.

    It also provide the global and group element numbers, since they had to be calculated anyway.

  `write`(fil, sep=' ', mode='w')

    Write a Geometry to a .pgf file.

    If fil is a string, a file with that name is opened. Else fil should be an open file. The Geometry is then written to that file in a native format, using sep as separator between the coordinates. If fil is a string, the file is closed prior to returning.

  `renumber`(old=None, new=None)

    Renumber a set of nodes.

    old and new are equally sized lists with unique node numbers, each smaller that the number of nodes in the model. The old numbers will be renumbered to the new numbers. If one of the lists is None, a range with the length of the other is used. If the lists are shorter than the number of nodes, the remaining nodes will be numbered in an unspecified order. If both lists are None, the nodes are renumbered randomly.

    This function returns a tuple (old,new) with the full renumbering vectors used. The first gives the old node numbers of the current numbers, the second gives the new numbers cooresponding with the old ones.

`Functions defined in module fe`

`fe.` `mergedModel`(meshes, **kargs)

  Returns the fe Model obtained from merging individual meshes.

  The input arguments are (coords,elems) tuples. The return value is a merged fe Model.
