# AuxeticMOP-with-ABAQUS
## Purpose
- Finding metamaterial structure with negative poisson's ratio using ABAQUS and MOP evolutionary algorithm approaches.
- In addition to structure with negative poisson's ratio, other types of material structure can be created by varying version fitness values definitions.
- The definition of fitness value for negative Poisson's ratio is well defined in `auxeticmop.ParameterDefinitions.fitness_definitions['ver3']`.


## Features
- The script `full_scripts.py` or `auxeticmop.sample_scripts.full_steps.run()` generates 1/8 structure of unit cell using ABAQUS CAE software by genetic algorithm.
This script is especially for finding mechanical meta-material structure consisting of 3D voxels.
- GUI is provided for getting initial parameters for ABAQUS, and plotting results when a generation work is done.

- Python script running on ABAQUS is located in `auxeticmop.AbaqusScripts`. This will run only on ABAQUS-embedded python
interpreter, and maybe the version is `2.7.15`. Other scripts are running on newer Python.

- Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm(NSGA) is used to validate and assess fitness values of generated topologies.

## Install

To install the current release:
```shell
$ pip install auxeticmop==1.0.1
```

#### *Try out whole GA steps*

```shell
$ python
```

```python
>>> from auxeticmop.sample_scripts import full_steps
>>> if __name__ == '__main__':
  full_steps.run()
```

## Overall Steps of GA
> All Steps are included in `auxeticmop.GeneticAlgorithm.NSGAModel.run_a_generation()`.
>1. Generate offspring topologies from parent topologies.
>   - Related contents: `auxeticmop.GeneticAlgorithm.NSGAModel.generate_offspring_topologies()`
>2. Analyze displacements, reaction forces, or other mechanical properties of offspring topologies using ABAQUS CAE.
>   - Related contents: `auxeticmop.Network.start_abaqus_cae()`, `auxeticmop.Network.request_abaqus()`, `auxeticmop.AbaqusScripts`
>3. Evaluate fitness values of parents and offsprings.
>   - Related contents: `auxeticmop.PostProcessing.evaluate_all_fitness_values()`
>4. Select desired topologies which fits pareto-front(non-dominated) points and export these as next parent.
>   - Related contents: `auxeticmop.PostProcessing.selection()`
>5. Redo steps 1~4 for next generations. Iterations of all generations are done in `auxeticmop.GeneticAlgorithm.NSGAModel.run()`.

## Conditions to Meet in Validation Steps
- 3D print-ability without supports, maximum overhang distance is also considered.
  + Related contents: `auxeticmop.MutateAndValidate.make_3d_print_without_support`
- Allowing only Face-to-Face contact between voxels.
  + Related contents: `auxeticmop.MutateAndValidate.make_voxels_surface_contact`
- All six faces of structure are connected as one tree, thereby not allowing force-free structure inside an unit cell.

## Fitness Value Definitions
- Those two fitness values(objective functions) should go lower.
- The fitness value definitions are well organized in `auxeticmop.ParameterDefinitions.fitness_definitions`.
- You can choose the version of fitness value evaluation in GUI.
