NGSTrefftz

an add-on to NGSolve for Trefftz methods

NGSTrefftz provides a framework to implement Trefftz finite element spaces for NGSolve, with several Trefftz spaces already implemented. Additionally, Trefftz-DG on tent-pitched meshes for the acoustic wave equation is implemented using meshes provided by ngstents. Furthermore, the package includes an implementation of the embedded Trefftz method.

Try it out!

You can try out some jupyter notebooks:

• Launch the Binder here:
  
• Or run the docker locally (you need to have docker installed):

git clone https://github.com/PaulSt/NGSTrefftz
cd NGSTrefftz && docker build -t ngstrefftz_jupyter .
docker run -p 8888:8888 ngstrefftz_jupyter

Installing the package

You can either:

• install using pip

pip install ngstrefftz

• or build from source

git clone --recursive https://github.com/PaulSt/NGSTrefftz
mkdir ./NGSTrefftz/make && cd ./NGSTrefftz/make
cmake ../ && make install

Dependencies

• if you are using pip to install the package you can install the newest ngsolve and other dependencies using

pip install ngsolve --pre

• if you build the package from source the following software needs to be installed
  • cmake >= 3.1
  • gcc >= 9 or clang >= 10
  • lapack >= 3.9 (required to access the newest features)
  • ngsolve >= 6.2 (to access the newest features the nightly version of NGSolve works best)

News
