Version 3.2 of the well-known deal.II object-oriented finite element
library has been released. It is available from the deal.II home-page
at
http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal
The most important improvements are:
- Mapping of arbitrary order at curved boundaries. This includes the
possibility of using sub-, iso-, and super-parametric elements, as
well as C1 mappings and shape functions depending on the actual grid
cell.
- A matrix class for conveniently filtering Dirichlet boundary values
without modifying the system matrix.
- A wide variety of target systems by ISO C++ conformance.
Beside these, the list of changes comprises more than 100 new
functions, classes, and bug fixes. A concise list with respect to the
previous version can be found at
http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal/news/2001/3.1.0-vs-3.2.0.html
All main features of the previous versions have been continued and
improved:
- Support for dimension-independent programming
- Extensive documentation and working example programs
- Locally refined grids
- Continuous and discontinuous elements of higher order
- Fast linear algebra
- Built-in support for symmetric multi-processing (SMP)
- Output for a variety of visualization platforms
deal.II is distributed under an Open Source license and is free for
non-commercial use.
