Hello,
I was curious if Firedrake is capable of solving elastoplastic problems. Right now I am trying to create a simple wave using Fenics Solid Mechanics app in elastoplastic media (without any success). I was wondering is Firedrake has a more user friendly platform for such problems.
We currently have no special support for solving plasticity problems, where you need to solve for the implicit constitutive laws and updates and quadrature points. It is likely that you would have to write lots of code by hand. This is something that fenics solid mechanics is meant to do. So it is very unlikely that we are more user friendly in that direction.
