Add GetFEM to the Finite Elements list

Open logari81 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

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
