Introduction

OptFEM2DP1 is a MATLAB©/GNU Octave© library providing routines for P1-Lagrange Finite Element Methods in 2D.

Requirements

Needs Matlab or GNU Octave 3.6.*

GNU Octave 3.6.3 under linux

GNU Octave 3.6.3 source for Linux is available here.

For a description of our compilation/installation under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86_64) refer to F. Cuvelier homepage, section Octave in left menu.

With GNU Octave 3.6.3, you need to install the following packages: splines, mesh, general. These packages can be found here.

To install a package, please run Octave as root and download the package archive and run

pkg install package_file_name.tar.gz

GNU Octave 3.6.2 for Windows Microsoft Visual Studio

GNU Octave 3.6.2 is available here.

Download file octave-3.6.2-vs2010-setup.exe
run it and select, at least, packages splines, mesh and general.

Testing and Working
