Description: finite element engine based on symbolic mathematics
The finite element method (FEM) package SyFi is a C++ library built on top
of the symbolic math library GiNaC. The name SyFi stands for Symbolic
Finite Elements. The package provides polygonal domains, polynomial
spaces, and degrees of freedom as symbolic expressions that are easily
manipulated. This makes it easy to define finite elements and variational
forms. These elements and forms are then used to generate efficient C++
code.
SyFi is similar to FFC in the sense that it has a compiler that generates
UFC code based on variational forms and finite elements. It is also
similar to FIAT in the sense that it implements many different finite
elements.
A version of the Debian files is already available in the pkg-scicomp
Subversion repository.
