pyFEBiOpt

Welcome to pyFEBiOpt’s documentation.

pyFEBiOpt is a Python package for building flexible FEBio optimization workflows. It connects SciPy optimizers with FEBio simulations, reads FEBio .xplt outputs, and provides postprocessing helpers for PyVista-based visualization.

FEBio includes an optimization workflow, but it is limited for projects that need custom multi-objective cost functions, Python-side data processing, and reusable simulation scripting. pyFEBiOpt is designed to make those workflows explicit, scriptable, and easier to monitor.
