Yes, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to fix the links. I'm officially on vacation this week and will probably have a backlog of more urgent work when I get back. I'll copy this to libmesh-users since your other questions are also of broad interest, and if we're lucky one of the other developers will find time to fix up the html before too long. > Now, does libMesh provide a FEM solver or which one would be most > suitable combined with libMesh? The FEM formulation in libMesh is your responsibility - we give example codes with Galerkin formulations for a variety of problems, but there are just too many possible problems and formulations for each. The algebraic solves are handled by third party packages; we have interfaces to Laspack, Trilinos, and PETSc, and right now I'd recommend PETSc. > Do you know of any free visualization and/or post-processing > software that works well with libMesh?

If you've got a sufficiently complicated mesh and are going to be presenting on a slow computer then you're stuck with png to keep the slides from taking too long to load. I try to use pdf images with pdflatex "\includegraphics", but my older slides are filled with rasterized images from a visualization tool that wouldn't output vector graphics. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
