Not really, if you are looking for something like a theory explanation of finite element methods. You might want to check out the MOOSE framework training slides ( http://mooseframework.org/wiki/MooseTraining/FEM) as there is some stuff about basic FEM there. > As an example I wander which kind of 'system' is the best for the > particular system I am interested at: Currently > I am using Condensed_Eigen_system but I don't know what actually is the > difference to Eigen_system? > There's doxygen documentation here: http://libmesh.github.io/doxygen/index.html, but it is quite often out of date.

There's a Github wiki (https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/wiki) but it's more odds and ends of how to use the build system than about how the code is designed or works. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
