Introduction to MFEM
MFEM (Modular Finite Element Methods) is an open-source C++ library for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using finite element methods (FEM). It is designed to be easy to use and highly modular, allowing users to combine different PDE solvers, preconditioners, and element types to create custom solutions to a wide range of problems. MFEM also…

Boolean Operation Examples for Netgen
In computer-aided design (CAD), boolean operations are a set of functions that allow you to create new shapes by combining or modifying existing shapes. These operations are called boolean because they are based on the logical values of true and false, and they use the concepts of union, intersection, and difference to create new shapes.…

NGSolve Tutorials (2) CoefficientFunctions Example Part B
6. Integrate a CoefficientFunction The Integrate function in ngsolve is used to compute the integral of a function over the domain of a given mesh. The function to be integrated is specified as a CoefficientFunction, and the mesh over which the integral is to be computed is specified as a Mesh object. In this case,…
