Elmer FEM solver

Common card · No. 471396

Elmer is a computational tool for multi-physics problems. It was developed by CSC in collaboration with Finnish universities, research laboratories and industry. Elmer FEM solver is free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2 or any later. Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer and acoustics. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM). Elmer comprises several different parts: ElmerGrid – A mesh conversion tool, which can be used to convert differing mesh formats into Elmer-suitable meshes. ElmerGUI – A graphical interface which can be used on an existing mesh to assign physical models. This generates a "case file" which describes the problem to be solved. It does not show the entire functionality of ElmerSolver in GUI. ElmerSolver – The numerical solver which performs the finite element calculations...
