generalized PDE solvers

RichardSaw · August 3, 2010, 10:09

Dear all

I am looking for a generalized solver (library) for user defined set of PDE using finite element.

I dound deal.II, OpenFoam, FEniCS, LibMesh, Finite element tool kit (FETK), OOFEM, GetFEM++ etc....

Can anyone suggest a most flexible library (free and open source) package where I can define my own set of PDEs rather than built-in equation designed for a specific application domain (such as Fluid, solid, transport phenomena etc...)?

FlexPDE sounds quite flexible, but it's not free.

regards
Richard

Have you looked at Overture from Lawrence Livermore Labs (LLNL)?

dear all,

diffpack is quite flexible package with excellent documents. but it is no longer free.

Is there any similiar package?
