Implementation 2D features of pycalculix

[stefano2734]

Perhaps an implementation of 2D is here simple possible to extend this Programm to 2D.

see https://github.com/spacether/pycalculix

this project is now a public archive with no changes.

@stefano2734 - 2D models are possible. I have recently implemented the 2D axisymmetric elements and analysis details, which will be included in v0.2. Planar stress analysis in theory should be possible, but I have not directly tested or produced samples for this case. It is perhaps worth looking into suggesting a specific example that can be used to implement & test the functionality.

I agree from your previous issue #11 - would be helpful to catalogue and tabulate compatible element types and analyses, as these remain unverified in places.

I do not intend to implement low-level geometric creation routines like pycalculix, because this can often be routinely achieved via other software or directly using the GMSH. GMSH's geometry labelling including NodeSet and ElementSet creation is relatively complete for such jobs.

You are the expert. Version 0.2 will extend into 2D. That is very good.
I do not deep dive here in codes, so I see not the differences.
Thank you for your excellent work and the community will today and in future use your tool.
