# # Test of Structural Mechanics
# In this test there is a beam consisting of three parts, all have the same materials.
# The left most node is fixed.
# On the right most node a force is applied in x direction.
#
# After a certain time, the material of the middle _element_ is waekened, lower Young's modulus.
# In each step the modulus is lowered by a coinstant factor.

# ### Creating the Mesh
# Create a mesh for the two dimensional case
beam = aka.Mesh(2)
# We now create the connectivity array for the beam.
beam.addConnectivityType(aka._bernoulli_beam_2)
# We need a `MeshAccessor` in order to change the size of the mesh entities.
beamAcc = aka.MeshAccessor(beam)
# Now we create the array to store the nodes and the connectivities and give them their size.
beamAcc.resizeConnectivity(3, aka._bernoulli_beam_2)

# #### Setting the Nodes
Nodes = beam.getNodes()
Nodes[0, :] = [0., 0.]

#### Ready
# We have to make the mesh ready.

# If the softening is disabled, then the displacement looks wierd.
# Because the displacement first increases and then decreases.
# In this case `softDuration > 0` holds.
#
# However if the softening is enabled, it looks rather good.
# The left middle node will start to vibrate, because it is not pulled in the other direction.
