fem2d_sample

fem2d_sample, a C++ 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

• 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.

fem2d_sample is available in a C++ version and a Fortran90 version and a MATLAB version and an Octave version.
