FEATool Multiphysics has now been updated to version 1.12.1 with significant improvements to the multi-solver simulation interfaces. In addition to supporting the built-in MATLAB multiphysics solver, and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers OpenFOAM and SU2, FEATool now also includes full support for the popular open source FEA solver FEniCS.
The unique multi-simulation feature of FEATool Multiphysics allows one to easily define complex multiphysics models, and use up to four different solvers with the “one-click interface”. This saves a significant amount of work and time by only having to set up models once in a easy to use GUI, while at the same time having direct access to different solvers without having to learn their configuration syntax and formats.
- Learn one easy to use interface, to use four solvers interchangeably
- Validate simulations by comparing results from different solvers
- Use FEATool as a preprocessor and postprocessor for FEniCS, OpenFOAM and SU2
- Learning aid for FEniCS, OpenFOAM, and SU2 by using FEATool to export model files
- Supports reproducible MATLAB and Python simulation scripts
FEATool-FEniCS GUI and Solver Interface
The FEniCS GUI and solver interface has been significantly improved and updated to support the latest FEniCS version 2019.2.0 and Python 3. The FEATool-FEniCS solver interface now supports most multiphysics models including
Full support for 1D, 2D, and 3D problems with automatic grid conversion to the FEniCS Dolfin HDF5 and XML mesh formats
Automatic conversion of linear and non-linear, stationary and now also time dependent problems
Complex non-linear equation and boundary coefficients are also supported, and can involve expressions of dependent variables, derivatives, time, space, mathematical expressions, logical switch expressions
Linear as well as higher order finite element (FEM) shape function types (while preserving full simulation accuracy)
Full FEniCS GUI support as well as CLI scripting using the
fenicsMATLAB function
See the post on multiphysics simulations in Python for and introduction to the FEATool-FEniCS solver interface.
