fem1d_sample

fem1d_sample, a C code which can evaluate a finite element function of one argument.

The current version of the program can only handle finite element meshes which are made of piecewise constant or piecewise linear basis functions.

Usage:

fem1d_sample fem_prefix sample_prefix

• fem_prefix_nodes.txt, the node coordinates.
• fem_prefix_elements.txt, the nodes that make up each element;
• fem_prefix_values.txt, the values defined at each node.

• sample_prefix_nodes.txt, the node coordinates where samples are desired.
• sample_prefix_values.txt, the values computed at each sample node.
