Hello world, First of all, please excuse the cross posting, but I would like to address both deal.II and libmesh communities. I am currently looking into designing a new 3D finite element geo-electric code. I have come across deal.II and libmesh. Both libraries look quite promising, each having their advantages/disadvantages. On the plus side deal.II supports Nedelec elements which I am quite interested in using. However, libmesh allows to distribute the degrees of freedom (in addition to parallelising the linear algebra). A major design factor is memory requirements. This also seems to be one of the main distinguishing factors of the two libraries. Do you have estimates for the memory requirements for the stiffness matrix and load vector? What size problems can be reasonably run? At this stage our plans are still quite vague and this is just an initial probing question to get a feel for the capabilities of the two libraries. Many thanks Regards magnus
