I've installed FreeFem++ on Athena for Linux machines. FreeFem++ is 2
dimensional finite element method solver for partial differential
equations that incorporates an internal scripting language. the
distribution comes with an IDE and can output graphics directly.
The simplest way to try it out is to copy one of the example .edp scripts
in the freefempp_v2.9 locker to a location where you have write
permission and use FreeFem++ to execute it like this:
add freefempp_v2.9
FreeFem++ heatex.edp
To launch the IDE:
FreeFem++-cs &
Some of the demo directories at the top level of the freefempp_v2.9 locker
(like examples++, examples++-tutorial, examples++-eigen) have a script
"all.edp" which will run all the examples in that directory:
FreeFem++ all.edp
There is a pdf manual that explains the internal scripting language
with many demos at http://web.mit.edu/freefempp_v2.9/freefem++doc.pdf. See
also file /mit/freefempp_v2.9/README.athena for additional information.
