| PackageDescription | efficient Finite Element environment - documentation
Rheolef is a computer environment that serves as a convenient laboratory for
computations in applied mathematics involving finite element-like methods.
It provides a set of commands and C++ algorithms and containers.
.
Most basically, containers cover the classic graph data structure for sparse
matrix formats and finite element meshes. At a higher level of abstraction,
they can handle approximate finite element spaces, discrete fields.
Flexible and powerful expressions are used to specify bilinear forms.
.
Current applications include:
* massively distributed memory finite element environment, based on MPI;
* elasticity, Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems in 2D and 3D;
* complex fluids applications: viscoplasticity, viscoelasticity, wall slip;
* nonlinear problems with fixed-point, Newton and continuation methods;
* high order polynomials, mixed elements and discontinuous Galerkin methods;
* auto-adaptive mesh approaches;
* axisymmetric problems;
* multi-regions and variable coefficient problems.
