Pre-release
This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Documentation
A preliminary collection of documentation (demos, tutorials, mini API) can be found here and is also part of the i-tutorials of NGSolve, see here.
A simple doxygen collection of NGSolve, ngsxfem and ngstrefftz C++ API can be found here.
About ngsxfem
ngsxfem is an add-on library to the finite element package Netgen/NGSolve which enables the use of unfitted finite element technologies known as XFEM, CutFEM, TraceFEM, Finite Cell, ... . ngsxfem is an academic software. Its primary intention is to facilitate the development and validation of new numerical methods for partial differential equations.
The features of ngsxfem
The main features of ngsxfem are:
- Tools to work on a subset of the triangulation, the "active mesh" only
- Numerical integration on geometries that are (implicitly) described through level set functions.
- Higher order representation of level set geometries
- Space-Time Finite Elements for the treatment of moving domain problems
- All these features combined with the usual flexibility and power of NGSolve.
ngsxfem has been used in a variety of applications. In the document doc/feature-details.md (see also compiled pdf ) more details on the features is given and in doc/literature.md (see also literature ) an overview of the scientific literature where ngsxfem is used is provided.
Not all features of ngsxfem and NGSolve can directly be combined. Here is an overview of ngsxfem and NGSolve features and if they can directly be combined:

Some of the nos are work in progress and some have not been considered so far. If you need a certain combination to work, please contact us and we will see what we can do (MPI for Gh is planned for the not so far future).
Examples and Documentation
We provide two main sources with which to learn how to use ngsxfem:
- At https://github.com/ngsxfem/ngsxfem-jupyter you can find tutorial-style jupyter notebooks for
ngsxfem. These explain the core functionalities and usage of the tools provided byngsxfem. You can run those tutorials interactively (without the need of a local installation) through binder. - In the demos-directory we provide several examples that demonstrate the usage of
ngsxfemfeatures. See demos/README.md for details.
Installation
We provide installation instructions for building/installing through pip and building/installing from sources in INSTALLATION.md. Further, a docker image is available which can be used to run ngsxfem through docker.
