Description: '''
        Python 3 library to automate and build finite element analysis (FEA) models in Calculix.
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Meshing uses Calculix or GMSH.

        Source Code: https://github.com/spacether/pycalculix
        Documentation: https://pythonhosted.org/pycalculix/
        
        Useful applications of Pycalculix:
        -Trade studies for plane stress, plane strain, or axisymmetric parts
        -Quick Kt analysis of 2D geometry
        -Learning finite element analyis (FEA) and Python
        
        Notes:
        I build a chunker in python which tries to cut big areas (> 5 sides) which
        cgx can't mesh into smaller areas (<= 5 sides) which are meshable in cgx.
        The chunker may not always be able to cut areas correctly.
        
        Elements Supported:
        Axisymmetric, plane stress, and plane strain elements are supported.
        First and second order triangles and quadrilaterals are supported.
          First order elements only have corner nodes
          Second order elements have corner and mid-side nodes
        Second order elements produce more accurate results
        Setting element divisions on lines is supported
        
        Geometry Building:
        One can build separate parts made of points, lines, arcs, and areas.
        One can draw a part made of straight lines, then smooth out corners by adding
        blends/fillets with the part method: part.fillet_lines(L1, L2, arc_radius)
        The new fillet will be tangent to both adjacent lines.
        
        Loading:
        Force loading
        Constant pressure
        Linearly varying pressure (water pressure)
        Gravity
        Rotational speed forces
        Displacement constraints are supported
        Loads are stored on geometry primitives (points lines etc) and can be applied
        before or after meshing.
