The rodigan package implements a FEM solver for special Cosserat rods.
The subpackage rodigan.common contains code that should be reusable for many particular types of problems,
whereas the subpackage rodigan.cantilever builds upon rodigan.common to solve the static elasticity equations
for a cantilever. A usage example is shown in the Jupyter notebook cantilever_example.ipynb.
The code is written in Python. Further it makes use of the packages numpy, matplotlib and numba.
