Re: [deal.II] Open source finite element preprocessor

[Marco Nawijn]

Hi,

Maybe Trame is an option for you?
You have to build something yourself, but a lot of the complexity is hidden.

[deal.II] Open source finite element preprocessor

[Kaushik Das]

Hi all,
I have been using deal.ii for a while. I would like to create a simple but 
customized preprocessor for my deal.ii application. 

Please suggest any customizable open-source FE analysis preprocessor that I 
can use as a base to build on. 

I am looking for something that will visualize 3D geometry, and have some 
basic picking (registering x,y,z of mouse clicks), and UI functionality. 
This UI will write a prm file that can then be sent to deal.ii. 

I am looking for something that is dealii_parameter_gui + 3D geometry 
visualization + mousing click picking.

I am not looking for a mesh generator. I generate mesh using deal.ii 
functionality. I am not looking for a post-processor or results visualizer, 
I am very happy to use ParaView for post-processing. 

Thank you very much for your help.
Kaushik

Re: [deal.II] Importing nodal BCs and accessing vertices

[Alex Quinlan]

Thanks Wolfgang.  I appreciate the feedback.  I'll see if I can implement 
some of the cost-saving tips that you suggested.

Re: [deal.II] Interpolate H1 shape function to H1curl shape function

['yy.wayne' via deal.II User Group]

Thanks for your reply.

I thought about this problem in the past month. The fundamental cause of 
the difference lie in different 
spaces built by Nedelec and CG basis functions. Nedelec elements create 
singularity at stage corner 
while CG not. Visualization expressed what the solution is. There's defect 
for certain geometry to simulate
EM waves with CG elements.
