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 now includes mostly the department of Theory of Electrical Engineering at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (contact: korous@rice.zcu.cz), in the past the main development was done by the hp-FEM group at the University of Nevada, Reno. Information about further collaborators from numerous places around the globe can be found at http://www.hpfem.org/citing/.

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 also develops a graphical Engineering tool based on Hermes2D: Agros2D.
