fem3d_sample


fem3d_sample, a FORTRAN90 code which can evaluate a finite element function of a 3D argument.

The current version of the code can only handle tetrahedral finite element meshes using linear basis functions.

The current version of the code uses a NAIVE search algorithm to locate points within the mesh. It is intended that this search algorithm be replaced by a Delaunay search.

Usage:

fem3d_sample fem_prefix sample_prefix
where fem_prefix is the common prefix for the FEM files: and sample_prefix is the common prefix for the SAMPLE files, for which the node file is input, and the values file is created by the code:

fem3d_sample is available in a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.
