fem2d_sample


fem2d_sample, a MATLAB code which evaluates a finite element function of a 2D argument.

The current version of the program can only handle finite element meshes which are made of piecewise linear triangles of order 3 or 6.

Usage:

fem2d_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 program:

Languages:

fem2d_sample is available in a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.
