GetDP

GetDP is a rather general open source finite element solver using mixed elements to discretize de Rham-type complexes in one, two and three dimensions. GetDP is developed by the ACE group from the Montefiore Institute at the University of Liège, and is released under the GNU GPL.

Getting started

ONELAB allows to use GetDP as a black-box solver: you don't need to know anything about finite elements or de Rham complexes in order to run your first simulations:

1. Download and install recent versions of Gmsh and GetDP, or download directly the Gmsh/GetDP bundle

for Windows64, Windows32, Linux64, Linux32 or MacOSX.

1. Double-click on the Gmsh executable (gmsh.exe
   Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
   on Windows).
2. Load one of the GetDP models (.pro file) through the File/Open menu, e.g. magnet.pro for the Template:GetDPFile example.
3. Click on Run.
4. ... that's it!

• Magnet-1.png

  Launch Gmsh and load the GetDP model magnet.pro with the File/Open menu.

• Magnet-2.png

  Click on Run to launch a computation. You can change any parameter and then Run again!
