MFEM + PyMFEM (finite element method library)

Project description

Binder badge badge

MFEM + PyMFEM (FEM library)

This repository provides Python binding for MFEM. MFEM is a high performance parallel finite element method (FEM) library (http://mfem.org/).

Installer (setup.py) builds both MFEM and binding together. By default, "pip install mfem" downloads and builds the serial version of MFEM and PyMFEM. Additionally, the installer supports building MFEM with specific options together with other external libraries, including MPI version.

Requirement

numpy, swig  + mpi4py (for --with-parallel)

Install

pip install mfem                    # binary install is available only on linux platforms (Py36-310) 
pip install mfem --no-binary mfem   # install serial MFEM + wrapper from source

Using additional features (MPI, GPU, GPU-Hypre, GSLIB, SuiteSparse)

The setup script accept various options. TO use it, one can either use --install-option flag with pip, or download the package manually and run the script. For example, this below download and build parallel version of MFEM library (linked with Metis and Hypre) and install under /mfem. See also, docs/install.txt

### Using pip
$ pip install mfem --install-option="--with-parallel" [--verbose]

### Runnig setup.py
$ pip download mfem --no-binary mfem (expand tar.gz file and move to the downloaded directory)
$ python setup.py install --with-parallel # it download and build metis/hypre/mfem

### Verbose output
$ python setup.py install --vv # SWIG output and CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE is on

### Cleaning
$ python setup.py clean --all # clean external dependencies + wrapper code

Build with MFEM master in Github

$ pip install mfem --install-option="--with-parallel" --install-option="mfem-branch=master"[--verbose]
(or)
$ python setup.py install  --with-parallel --mfem-branch='master'

Choosing compiler

$ python setup.py install --with-parallel --CC=icc --CXX=icpc --MPICC=mpiicc --MPICXX=mpiicpc

### Other options

For other configurations, see docs/install.txt or help

$ python setup.py install --help

Install from github source

# Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/mfem/PyMFEM.git

# Build & Install
pip install ./PyMFEM --verbosel # build both MFEM and PyMFEM
  *or*
cd PyMFEM
python setup.py install # build both MFEM and PyMFEM

# Run test
cd test
python test_examples.py -serial

Usage

Here is an example to solve div(grad(f)) = 1 in a square and to plot the result with matplotlib (modified from ex1.cpp). Use the badge above to open this in Binder.

import mfem.ser as mfem

# create sample mesh for square shape
mesh = mfem.Mesh(10, 10, "TRIANGLE")

# create finite element function space
fec = mfem.H1_FECollection(1, mesh.Dimension())   # H1 order=1
fespace = mfem.FiniteElementSpace(mesh, fec)      

# 
ess_tdof_list = mfem.intArray()
ess_bdr = mfem.intArray([1]*mesh.bdr_attributes.Size())
fespace.GetEssentialTrueDofs(ess_bdr, ess_tdof_list)

# constant coefficient 
one = mfem.ConstantCoefficient(1.0)

# define Bilinear and Linear operator
a = mfem.BilinearForm(fespace)
a.AddDomainIntegrator(mfem.DiffusionIntegrator(one))
a.Assemble()
b = mfem.LinearForm(fespace)
b.AddDomainIntegrator(mfem.DomainLFIntegrator(one))
b.Assemble()

# create gridfunction, which is where the solution vector is stored
x = mfem.GridFunction(fespace);
x.Assign(0.0)

# form linear equation (AX=B)
A = mfem.OperatorPtr()
B = mfem.Vector()
X = mfem.Vector()
a.FormLinearSystem(ess_tdof_list, x, b, A, X, B);
print("Size of linear system: " + str(A.Height()))

# solve it using PCG solver and store the solution to x
AA = mfem.OperatorHandle2SparseMatrix(A)
M = mfem.GSSmoother(AA)
mfem.PCG(AA, M, B, X, 1, 200, 1e-12, 0.0)
a.RecoverFEMSolution(X, b, x)

# extract vertices and solution as numpy array
verts = mesh.GetVertexArray()
sol = x.GetDataArray()

# plot solution using Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.tri as tri

triang = tri.Triangulation(verts[:,0], verts[:,1])

fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax1.set_aspect('equal')
tpc = ax1.tripcolor(triang, sol, shading='gouraud')
fig1.colorbar(tpc)
plt.show()
