Assembly and Solvers
LowLevelFEM separates finite element assembly from the solution process. Global matrices can be assembled explicitly, inspected or modified, then passed to direct or iterative solvers.
A typical workflow is:
K = stiffnessMatrix(problem)
f = loadVector(problem, [force])
u = solveDisplacement(K, f, support=[bc])Alternatively, the complete workflow can be executed with a single high-level function:
u = solveDisplacement(problem,
load=[force],
support=[bc])Available analysis types include:
- static linear analysis
- transient dynamics
- modal analysis
- linear buckling
- nonlinear solid mechanics
- coupled multiphysics problems
Direct and iterative linear solvers are supported. Iterative methods can be combined with arbitrary preconditioners provided by Julia's linear algebra ecosystem.
