The hp-FEM Group
- it is a version full of upgrades & optimizations
- visit the Hermes section for details.
The hp-FEM group at the University of Nevada, Reno and University of West Bohemia, Pilsen is concerned with the development, implementation, and dissemination of modern computational methods for engineering and scientific problems described by partial differential equations (PDE). Our work is freely available through several open source projects.
Open Source FEM Software
-
Hermes2D is a C++ library for rapid development of adaptive hp-FEM / hp-DG solvers. Novel hp-adaptivity algorithms are designed to solve a large variety of problems ranging from ODE and stationary linear PDE to complex time-dependent nonlinear multiphysics PDE systems. The code is distributed under the GNU General Public License (Hermes2D and Hermes3D) and BSD License (Hermes1D).
-
Agros2D is a multiplatform C++ application for the solution of partial differential equations (PDE) based on the Hermes library, developed by the group at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. Agros2D is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
-
The aim of Hermes3D is to extend the capabilities of Hermes2D to three spatial dimensions.
In particular, Hermes3D will offer automatic adaptive hp-FEM with arbitrary-level
hanging nodes, monolithic multimesh discretization of multiphysics coupled
problems, and adaptive hp-FEM with dynamically changing meshes for 3D
problems. The development had started and has been temporarily put on hold.

International Conferences ESCO and FEMTEC
We organize two series of international conferences: European Seminar on Coupled Problems (ESCO 2012, 2010, 2008) in Europe and Finite Element Methods in Engineering and Science (FEMTEC 2013, 2011, 2009, 2006) in the U.S.
Use Hermes through NCLab
Hermes in its older (serial) version can be used in online tool NCLab thanks to Python wrappers (for the serial version).
NCLab is a third-party product that is not developed by our group at UNR.
