Hello Julien,

Thanks for your reply. I had demo_plate.py (and demo_tripod) run fine 
after building numarray myself. It appears that the debian numarray 
package is somehow not complete.

Can you explain what do the arguments in mfd.eval('[0, x[1]*x[1]/1000]') 
in this line

b1.set('param', 'M', mfd, mfd.eval('[0, x[1]*x[1]/1000]'))

in demo_plate.py mean?

Does MeshFem.eval() requires a numarray array argument?

Unfortunately there seems to be no demo_plate.m to compare. Is such 
example available, perhaps in an older version?

Yes, I can't compile the python extension module in debian/sid amd64 but 
I'll ask later in another thread.

Thanks very much for your help,
