Diffpack, a mathematical modelling tool developed by Oslo based Numerical
Objects, is now available in the UK from Adept Scientific. This
object-oriented numerical problem solving environment for partial
differential equations (PDEs) provides a high degree of modelling
flexibility, while maintaining the computational efficiency needed for
real world simulation problems in science and engineering. The package
allows easy modification and combination of numerical building blocks, so
there are no restrictions on the types of PDEs that can be solved.
Diffpack functions include low-level numerical and non-numerical
utilities, tools for linear and non-linear algebraic equations, finite
element methods, plus interchangeable components for meshes, fields and
other PDE functions - all with interactive graphics. The kernel is
supported by a range of add-on toolboxes, including adaptive mesh
construction tools, tools for parallel computing, iterative linear
solvers, data import filters and more.
