Add GetFEM to the Finite Elements list #86

Open

logari81 wants to merge 1 commit into nschloe:main from logari81:main

logari81 commented May 3, 2023

GetFEM is similar to FEniCS, Firedrake and FreeFEM, already in the list, but it has its own strengths:

Good support for modelling of contact problems
C++ API, as well as support for several scripting languages Python/Octave/Matlab
A weak form language which is isolated from the programming language
Support for XFEM and for working with non-matching meshes in general

GetFEM is easy to try out, but also suitable for creating large models:

is available on Debian/Ubuntu/Docker
has large collection of examples
imports meshes created with gmsh, gid or ANSYS
supports parallel distributed assemblies with OpenMPI
it is one of the oldest public FE codes (over 20 years as open source), but it has been continuously maintained and modernized
