GSoC-2021 Initial Contact

Hi MBDyn Teams,

My name is Paritosh Wankhade. I am a fourth-year Dual Degree (BTech+MTech) mechanical engineering student with a specialization in Thermal Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar. I don't have any academic commitments during the Summer so I am planning to apply at MBDyn for GSoC 2021 and contribute to the organization as the work exactly aligns with my inclinations and work can be extended for my master's thesis.

I started by installing Ubuntu on my system and I was successfully able to download, compile, create a test and finally run the test case using MBDyn, and I tried the tutorials on the Sky-Engine tutorial and successfully built using MBDyn; I did post-processing with MATLAB and Gnuplot. After going through all the present repositories; MBDyn Python Preprocessor got me very much intrigued considering the boost it will have on the generation of Input files for MBDyn.

I started off by writing a basic Projectile motion input file with MBDyn Python Preprocessor and generating an input file. The link to the Github repository is Python Preprocessor Projectile motion

I could see that it could be easily extended to multiple motions at the same time using Python Preprocessor and using Blendyn animation for the output file.

I would like to know how can I proceed to make my candidature stronger for the project and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanking you in anticipation
