Here is a list of commands that are found in most input files.

Importation of relevant Python modules:

from wrap import *  # import C++/Python interface of Metafor
import math         # import Python math module (to use ''math.sin'' for example)

Creation of an analysis metafor and access to the domain:

metafor = Metafor()
domain = metafor.getDomain()

Configuration of geometry:

geometry = domain.getGeometry()
geometry.setDim3D()             # 3D modelling
geometry.setDimPlaneStrain(t)    # 2D modelling in plane strain with thickness = t
geometry.setDimAxisymmetric()   # 2D axisymmetric modelling with thickness = 1 radian
