It is written in C++ with the help of the [gmsh](https://gmsh.info/) library for mesh management and pre/postprocessing, [Eigen](https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/) for linear algebra and [MKL Pardiso](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/onemkl-developer-reference-c/top/sparse-solver-routines/onemkl-pardiso-parallel-direct-sparse-solver-iface.html) (fast parallel linear solver).
