  Description     : software framework for finite element methods

UG is a flexible software tool for the numerical solution of partial
differential equations on unstructured meshes, with a focus on
multigrid methods. It has a very powerful grid manager, which supports
two- and three-dimensional grids with mixed element types. The grids
can be adaptively refinement using either classic
red/green-refinement, or pure red refinement with hanging nodes. All
this is fully parallelized and can run on large distributed machines.

UG supports many different discretization schemes. UG can be used
through its built-in shell, using a special scripting language. It can
also be used as a library from other finite element codes.

UG is one of the grids supported by DUNE[1].

I intend to maintain the package in the Debian Science Maintainers
team.
