Python Multiphysics Simulations with FEniCS and FEATool
Python Multiphysics Simulations with FEniCS and FEATool
The FEniCS Project is a popular and open-source finite element analysis (FEA) framework for mathematical modeling and physics simulations using the Python programming language. In contrast to specialized solvers (such as OpenFOAM and SU2 for fluid dynamics (CFD), or CalculiX and Code Aster for structural mechanics) …
Running MATLAB FEM and Multiphysics Simulations in Parallel
Running MATLAB FEM and Multiphysics Simulations in Parallel
When given the task to perform many simulations in a larger simulation study or project, such as in optimization studies or parametric studies over several variables as for example described in a parametric simulation script tutorial, one can speed up the overall process significantly by performing the simulations in …
Fortran, Julia, and MATLAB FEM Benchmark Comparison
Fortran, Julia, and MATLAB FEM Benchmark Comparison
Continuing the previous Finite Element Method (FEM) solver and assembly benchmark comparison, this follow up compares the entire solution process for an identical simulation problem, in this case a two-dimensional (2D) Poisson problem solved on a unit square. The model problem is stationary, and discretized with …
FEM Assembly and Solver Benchmarks
FEM Assembly and Solver Benchmarks
Although not very popular to undertake, and sometimes outright controversial, benchmarks and benchmarking is often very useful in order to be able to make fair and informed decisions about software codes, libraries, and choice of programming languages. With this in mind, several Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation …
