  Description     : Scientific Computing Tools for Finite Element Methods

This package contains a collection of tools for scientific computing
with a focus on finite element methods. The tools are written in
Python and are intended to be used in conjunction with the dolfinx.

Many users that are transitioning from legacy FEniCS to FEniCSx may
find the transition difficult due to the lack of some functionalities
in FEniCSx. This package aims to provide some of the functionalities
that are missing in FEniCSx.

Features

    Real-space implementation for usage in DOLFINx (>=v0.8.0)
    Save quadrature functions as point clouds
    Save any function that can tabulate dof coordinates as point clouds.
    Point sources for usage in DOLFINx
    Simplified wrapper to create MeshTags based on a list of tags and corresponding locator functions.
    Maps between degrees of freedom and vertices: vertex_to_dofmap and dof_to_vertex
    Blocked Newton Solver
    Function evaluation at specified points
