The Netgen/NGSolve Finite Element Software - Overview and Applications

Explore the open-source finite element software Netgen/NGSolve in this comprehensive seminar presented by Joachim Schöberl from Vienna University of Technology. Gain insights into setting up various physical models using FEniCS-like Python scripting and learn how NGSolve can be utilized for teaching finite element methods. Discover recent research projects that have contributed to the software's development, including matrix-valued finite elements with applications in elasticity, fluid dynamics, and numerical relativity. Examine the extended framework of linear operators that enables GPU utilization for linear solvers and time-dependent problems. Delve into topics such as magnetostatics, linear elasticity, shell models, mixed methods, natural convection, and parallel computation. Trace the history of NGSolve and explore its recent developments in this informative presentation from the FEM@LLNL Seminar Series, sponsored by the MFEM project.
