Felino

Felino is an open-source phase-field fracture framework built on the MOOSE framework.
This repository provides an extension for geomaterial fracture modeling, supporting asymmetric tensile/compressive behavior.


🚀 Installation Guide

The following instructions assume you are using Ubuntu (or WSL with Ubuntu).
Felino is built on top of the MOOSE framework. The instruction in this page includes installation of MOOSE and Felino. And it is presented with the Assumption that the number of cpu on user's device is 4.

1️⃣ Install Miniforge (Lightweight Conda)

bash curl -L -O https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh bash Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/miniforge

2️⃣ Setup Conda and Restart Shell

bash export PATH=$HOME/miniforge/bin:$PATH conda init --all exit

⚠️ Close and reopen your terminal after running exit.


3️⃣ Update Conda and Add MOOSE Channel

bash conda update --all --yes conda config --add channels https://conda.software.inl.gov/public


4️⃣ Create and Activate MOOSE Environment

bash conda create -n moose moose-dev=2025.07.22=mpich conda activate moose


5️⃣ Clone and Checkout MOOSE

bash mkdir -p ~/projects cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/idaholab/moose.git cd moose git checkout master


6️⃣ Build and Test MOOSE

bash cd ~/projects/moose/test make -j 4 ./run_tests -j 4

✅ If you see All tests passed, MOOSE installation is successful.


🐾 Felino Installation

After MOOSE is installed, build Felino:

bash cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/DanielChou0916/felino.git cd felino make -j 4


▶️ Running a Test

bash cd ~/projects/felino chmod +x felino_test.sh ./felino_test.sh

When you see [Felino] (='v'=) Installation test PASSED., the test has run successfully.


▶️ Running a Tutorial for v1.0.2 Geomaterial Analysis

📌 This example demonstrates the new geomaterial fracture models added in v1.0.2. bash cd ~/projects/felino mpiexec -n 4 ./felino-opt -i tutorials/tur4_uniaxial_compression/Ce/Ce_disp.i


🔄 Updating Felino

bash cd ~/projects/felino git pull make clean make -j 4
