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). The code is wrapped in Python thanks to [SWIG](https://www.swig.org/). The small GUI is written in [PyQt](https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/). - -## How to run the models (GUI)? - -* The latest Windows installer of **fossils** can be downloaded here: [fossilsetup.exe](https://dox.ulg.ac.be/index.php/s/9SQfoQnQ2vRKUvl). -* Run the installer and double-click on the link on the desktop. -* Choose an input file (see the models folder of this repository). -* Click the "Run" button. -* Results are stored in a workspace folder. - -## How to run the code (command line)? - -``` -fossils.exe [-k nthreads] [--nogui] [--post] <path_to_input_file.py> -``` +This work has been done through a collaboration between the [EDDy Lab](https://www.eddylab.uliege.be/) (Prof. Valentin Fisher) and the [Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering](https://www.am.uliege.be/) (R.
