waves

Waves is a collection of general utilities and finite element tools for solving various PDE. The code is written in C++ interfaced in python through SWIG, and is developed at the University of Liège.

Features

Set of python/C++ modules:

• katoptron: 3D(Hex8 and Tetra4) linear thermomechanical equations with contact (FEM)
• tlnos: basic Trilinos examples

Additional features:

• Gmsh support for mesh and post-processing
• VTK/PyQt support for post processing and basic GUI
• OpenBLAS or Intel MKL support
• Eigen3 support for linear algebra
  • Intel Pardiso support
  • MUMPS support
• TBB support for multithreading
• mpi4py support for parallelization
• Trilinos support (for some modules)

Build

Detailed build instructions can be found in the wiki.
