fempy 0.3.1

Finite element method in python

Welcome to fempy!

Fempy is a pure python cross platform package for solving systems of PDEs by finite element method. It provides abstractions for dealing with discretized domains, fields on these domains, weak forms constructed with the fields and for solving the resulting systems of equations. Linear, non linear and time dependent problems can be solved with fempy.

Installation

Best way to install fempy is by using pip:

pip install -U fempy

The only dependencies required are numpy and scipy. However for automatic meshing and preview of results you will need also gmsh executable in your path. You may choose to install it with pip as well:

pip install -U gmsh-sdk

Testing

Run all tests by:

python -m fempy.tests.runtests

You can also specify subpackages, e.g:

python -m fempy.tests.runtests domain

Examples can be executed similarely as:

python -m fempy.examples.elastic

Note, that most examples need gmsh and a running display.
