M++ (Meshes, Multigrid and more)

M++ (Meshes, Multigrid and more) is a parallel Finite Element Software to solve partial differential equations developed at the Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics in the group Scientific Computing. It is used in various research projects and for teaching. It is implemented in the programming language C++ and uses Open MPI to distribute the computational load on several computing nodes.

Every problem class can be created individually and solved by the following standard solvers:

Finite Elements: Lagrange, Discontinuous Lagrange, Nedelec, Raviart-Thomas
Solvers: CG, GMRES, BiCGStab, MINRES
Preconditioners: Jacobi, GaussSeidel, SSOR, parallel direct solvers
Usage of different external routines: BLAS, LAPACK, SuperLU
Different plotting standards: vtk, vtu, gp

There is a variety of predefined problem classes, e.g. Poisson, Darcy, convection-diffusion-reaktion, transport, Stokes, elasticity and plasticity, Maxwell, etc.

Further examples for the usage of M++ is given by tutorial exercises which can be found on Einführung in das Wissenschaftliche Rechnen.

Installation guide

You can find a recent version of M++ on GitLab: Mpp

This git-repository is used in other git-repositories to realize different projects.
The installation process is described in a readme-markdown in the corresponding git repository.

Publications

Simulation results with M++ were used in many dissertations and articles.
