FE2D is a simplified finite-element framework for time-dependent thermal/fluid-dynamics applications. FE2D is written in C++ and provides the following services:
In FE2D, the necessary input data for a finite element simulation is split into multiple files. The first file, the control file, contains all of the control information for the problem, e.g., analysis type, solver options, material properties, etc. The mesh file contains the nodal spatial coordinates, connectivity, node set and side set data, etc.
In this document, bold text denotes keywords, while [italic] text enclosed in "[]" identifies keyword parameters or optional data in the control file. Primary sections of the control file are delimited by a keyword -- end sequence that may contain a series of keyword -- parameter sequences. The presence of a keyword and a parameter implies that the parameter is expected as input. Where possible, default values have been identified in order to minimize the number of keywords that are necessary in an input file.
The control file uses a keyword -- [parameter (default)] syntax to define the mesh parameters, solver control variables, and analysis parameters. Comments in the control file must be preceded by a ``$'' symbol or a ``#'' symbol'. All input in the control file is case insensitive. The current keywords supported in FEM-TEACH may be found in Control File -- Keyword Input.
