From WikiDeal

This is the Wiki page for the http://www.dealii.org library. We provide it as a space for deal.II users to present projects and results obtained with the help of deal.II. Please feel free to create pages in which you explain your project, show pictures, share experiences, or show code. You may also link to descriptions of your projects elsewhere on the web.

If you find inaccuracies, the proper thing in a wiki is to edit pages as you wish. A description of how a wiki works and what you can do can be found at User's Guide. Unfortunately, due to spambots attacking wikis, you have to be given write privileges to the wiki by hand — which we are more than happy to do, just send an email to developer@dealii.org!

This wiki is not meant to replace the deal.II mailing list or homepage, but to supplement it. Therefore, continue submitting questions and answers to the mailing list. If the answers involve pieces of code or longer explanations, then this here might be a better place. For more information and documentation on deal.II, please also consult the deal.II homepage at http://www.dealii.org.

This wiki is set up and run by Luca Heltai. The deal.II authors are grateful for his help!

Modules

This is a collection of pieces of code which do not fit in the description of a project given above. Here you can add small routines or small complete programs which are specialized in something you find useful, that can possibly be inserted into other people programs with minor edits or changes. The idea behind this page is to give people a good starting point to refresh their ideas on how to do difficult and/or long and boring tasks or to give them the possibility to save some time by not reinventing the weel every time they start a new project.

The main idea behind this section is to give people some glimps on how you complete your deal experience with the other tools which are available for the finite element programmer, such as visualization tools, meshing tools, gui builder and so on.

Literature
