What is deal.II?
+ +
+ deal.II is a C++ program library targeted at + adaptive finite elements and error estimation. It uses + state-of-the-art programming techniques of the C++ programming + language to offer you a modern interface to the complex data + structures and algorithms required for adaptivity and enables you + to use a variety of finite elements in one, two, and three space + dimensions, as well as time-dependent problems. +
+ +
+ The main aim of deal.II is to enable + development of modern finite element algorithms, using among other + aspects sophisticated error estimators and adaptive + meshes. Writing such programs is a non-trivial task, and + successful programs tend to become very large and complex. We + therefore believe that this is best done using a program library + that frees the application programmer from aspects like grid + handling and refinement, handling of degrees of freedom, input + of meshes and output of results in graphics formats, and the + like. Also, support for several space dimensions at once is + included in a way such that programs can be written independent of + the space dimension without unreasonable penalties on run-time and + memory consumption. +
+ +
+ deal.II emerged from the work at the + + Numerical Methods Group of the University of Heidelberg, which + is at the forefront of adaptive finite element methods and error + estimators. It is used in several large research projects in + Heidelberg and elsewhere. +
+ + +
What deal.II can offer you
+ +
+ If you are active in the field of adaptive finite element methods, + deal.II might be the right library for your + projects. Among other features, it offers: +
+ +
+

+ Support for one, two, and three space dimensions, using a + unified interface that enables writing programs almost + dimension independent. +
+ +

+ Handling of locally refined grids, including algorithms to + adaptively refine them, using error indicators and + estimators. +
+ +

+ Support for a variety of finite elements, including Lagrange + elements of order one through four, and discontinuous + elements. +
+ +

+ Extensive documentation: about 200 pages of tutorials, + several reports, and far more than 1,000 pages of programming + interface documentation with explanations of all classes, + functions, and variables. +
+ +

+ Modern software techniques that make access to the complex + data structures and algorithms as transparent as possible. +
+ +

+ Fast algorithms that enable you to solve problems with + up to several millions of degrees of freedom quickly. +
+ +

+ Support for several output formats, including some common + formats for visualisation of scientific data. +
+ +

+ Support for a variety of computer platforms, including + multiprocessor machines. +
+ +

+ Free source code under an Open Source license, and the + invitation to contribute to further development of the + library. +
