MEF++ is a computer simulation software implementing the finite-element method, written in C++ and developped at Université Laval by the Groupe Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Éléments Finis (GIREF).[1]. MEF++ is a general[2] software tool that enables the resolution of various problems [3], one of its special features being the resolution of very large size multi-physics problems[4]. MEF++ uses the PETSc library for solving linear systems and the interface provided by the MPI norm for parallel computing.
History[edit]
In 1995, the GIREF was composed of researchers from various fields (civil, mechanical and chemical engineers and also mathematicians) willing to have a common finite element modeling tool that will suite their common needs.[5][6] A developper teams was put together in 1996[7] to answer these needs. Working to code the algorithms and numerical methodologies developed within the GIREF reserach activities. Since 2007[8], theses efforts are financially sustained by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and industrial partners: Michelin since 2006, followed by Hydro-Québec and Bodycad since 2017.
Features[edit]
MEF++ is a general finite elements software completely parallelized [9] [4] which use PETSc (providing iterative methods, but also direct solvers as MUMPS, SuperLU, MKL PARDISO), PARMETIS [10] or PTSCOTCH, TAO [11] and the MPI norm. MEF++ is offering functionalities[7] for anisotropic mesh adaptation [12] [13] , solving steady or unsteady 1D-2D-3D problems, deformable-deformable friction contact problems, fluid structure interaction, shape optimization, large deformations[14] and mechanical damage computations[15] [16]
Being a shared development effort involving academic and industrial partners, and thus aiming for a well verified stability and numerical reproducibility other time, developments inside MEF++ framework are integrated thanks to a version control solution and a software quality insurance process. Part of this process is the release and test of nightly builds on more than 15 different environments with more than 2700 non-regression tests. Sample of these nightly builds are publicly accessible.[17]
