Seminar: Part II Diffpack Application Development (Theory and Practice)

Diffpack combines the advantages of object-oriented programming with efficient Numerics.
This part of the course is devoted to work with Diffpack. Apart from the “read and learn” existing programs an introduction step by step to the possibilities of the work with the Diffpack’ development library is given.

• Introduction to the programming with finite elements
  • What are finite elements?
  • Mathematical models
  • Ready to use data structures in Diffpack
  • solving of the equations
  • Programming tools, debugging
  • Treatment of boundary conditions
  • Methods for solving linear equation systems
  • Coupling of different Diffpack-solver

• User interaction and visualisation
  • Formation of the menus for the data transfer
  • starting of the applications in different environments
  • visualisation of the data
  • Automatic reporting
  • Parameter studies
  • mesh generation

• Time-dependent problems
  • time integration
  • thermal conduction
  • Wave propagation

• Non-linear problems
  • Solution procedures for non-linear problems
  • Application of FEM for non-linear models

• Application of Diffpack in the practice
  • Elasticity
  • A simple Navier-Stokes-solver
  • Multiphysics: stationary flow with temperature dependent viscosity

• Toolboxes
  • Adaptivity toolbox
