About XLiFE++
XLiFE++ is an FEM-BEM C++ code developed by P.O.e.m.s. laboratory and I.R.M.A.R. laboratory, that can solve 1D / 2D / 3D, scalar / vector, transient / stationnary / harmonic problems. It provides:
- Advanced mesh tools, with refinement methods, including an advanced interface to the mesh generator Gmsh
- High order Lagrange Finite Elements (every order)
- High order edge Finite Elements (every order)
- Boundary Elements methods: Laplace, Helmholtz, Maxwell, Stokes (in progress)
- Essential conditions (periodic, quasi-periodic)
- Absorbing conditions: DtN, PML, ...
- Export to visualization tools such as Gmsh, Paraview, Matlab
- Many solvers (direct solvers, iterative solvers, eigenvalue solvers, wrappers to Arpack, UmfPack and Eigen libraries)
XLiFE++ is the heir of 2 finite element software products :
- Melina (and Melina++), developed by Daniel Martin, former I.R.M.A.R. laboratory, and P.O.e.m.s. laboratory (UMR 7231), since 1989
- Montjoie, developed by Marc Duruflé, I.N.R.I.A. Bordeaux South West, during his PhD thesis in the P.O.e.m.s. laboratory, I.N.R.I.A. Rocquencourt, since 2003
From 2011 to 2014, its development has been supported by the SIMPOSIUM European Project 
.
