dune-fem 2.8.0rc1

A discretization module providing an implementation of mathematical abstractions to solve PDEs on parallel computers including local grid adaptivity, dynamic load balancing, and higher order discretization schemes

DUNE-FEM

DUNE-FEM is a Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment module which defines interfaces for implementing discretization methods like Finite Element Methods (FEM) and Finite Volume Methods (FV) and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods (DG).

If you need help, please ask on our mailinglist. Bugs can also be submitted to the DUNE-FEM bugtracker instead.

Dependencies

DUNE-FEM requires a recent C++ compiler (e.g. g++ or clang), cmake, pkg-config (see DUNE installation for details) and depends on the following DUNE modules:

• dune-common

• dune-geometry

• dune-grid

The following DUNE modules are suggested:

• dune-istl
