About HermesΒΆ

Hermes is a free C++ library for rapid development of adaptive hp-FEM and hp-DG solvers for partial differential equations (PDE) and multiphysics PDE systems. The development team includes the hp-FEM group at the University of Nevada, Reno and their collaborators from numerous places around the globe.

A standard way to use Hermes is to write short C++ user programs that use the functionality provided by the library, but for those who prefer to use a graphical interface, the group located at the University of West Bohemia develops a graphical Engineering tool based on Hermes2D: Agros2D.
