[Item Permalink] Elmer 3.0 available for Mac OS X -- Comment()
Elmer 3.0 is now available for download also for the Mac OS X platform (in addition to Linux and Windows). Here is a short description of the software:
Elmer 3.0 is a computational tool for multi-physics problems. Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics and heat transfer. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).
The software is available free of charge to academic users by filling in the registration form.

The requirements for installing Elmer on Mac OS X are as follows: system version 10.3 or newer, including the X11 package (an optional install).

See my essay on Elmer for further information, or visit the Elmer homepage.
