Naming conventions The names of classes, attributes, services, variables, and functions in a program serve as comments of a sort. So don't choose terse names--instead, look for names that give useful information about the meaning of the variable or function. In a OOFEM program, names should be English, like other comments.

Getting oofem Getting release version You can get the release version of OOFEM from its download page. After downloading, unpack the distribution. For example on unix-like system, by running gunzip -c oofem-x.y.tar.gz | tar xof - Getting development (trunk) version Alternatively, you can get the bleeding edge version of OOFEM from the OOFEM SVN repository. To grab a copy of the latest version of OOFEM using anonymous svn access, use following command:

IML IML++ is a C++ templated library of modern iterative methods for solving both symmetric and nonsymmetric linear systems of equations. OOFEM provides the interface to this library, which enables to use iterative, single-processor solvers. See input data manual for description, how to select various solvers. The IML++ can be downloaded from project website. Installation instructions:

To run OOFEG (graphic post-processor), you need job context file (*.osf, created by OOFEM when run with ”-c” command-line option, for example). If you have not created context file, only geometry can be displayed. To start oofeg, run it with the same input file name as you have run OOFEM:

Many engineering problems initiate demands for large-scale computing, which must be feasible from the view of both time and available resources. The parallel processing allows not only obtaining results in acceptable time by significantly speeding up the analysis, but also performing large and complex analyses, which often do not fit into a single, even well equipped, machine with one processor unit (regardless of achieved speedup).

postprocessing

2009-02-06T16:37:44+02:00

At present, there are two possibilities for visualization of results: * OOFEM provides a simple way to export the results in VTK format, allowing to use VTK based visualization tools (such as MayaVi or ParaView) for postprocessing on different platforms. Consult input manual on how to export data to vtk. * OOFEG - X-windows based post-processor. It requires X-windows libraries to be installed on the system, so it is more or less limited to unix platforms. Follow installation instructions …

Referencing OOFEM If you use OOFEM, and especially if you use it to accomplish real work, I would like very much to hear from you. A short letter or email describing how you use OOFEM will mean a lot to me. The more people I know are using this program, the more easily I can justify spending time on improvements that I hope will benefit you.

Welcome to the OOFEM wiki! The purpose of this resource is to promote collaboration between OOFEM users. Specifically, this page is not intended to replace the OOFEM forums, which are the proper place for detailed questions & discussions. This page should provide a basic knowledge base that can be used by both existing and new users and to demonstrate the capabilities of OOFEM.

This short guide describes the steps necessary to compile oofem using Microsoft Visual c++ compiler. Compiling trunk (svn) version and versions 1.9 and later These instructions are valid since revision 326. * for trunk version, get the development version from svn repository. This requires to have svn client installed. If you don't have any, you can try TortoiseSVN client. For release version, download it from oofem website and unpack it. * Create a new, empty project (Win32 console a…

Discussion on the design of the implementation of Xfem into Oofem. The discussion is based on the description of the implementation in the paper Bordas S et al., An extended finite element library, Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng, 2007 ---------- General comments * The most serious thing is that the xfem implementation, as described in the article, requires changes on the level of basic FEM classes, i.e. modification (extensions) of basic element and node classes. This has two principal drawbac…
