Elmer Advanced Course
Elmer advanced course is intended for people who want to go beoynd the graphical user interface and know more about program architecture, parallel computation, basic programming, for example. It is assumed that the users have some background in Elmer and finite elements. Participation in the Elmer basic course the day before gives sufficient starting point for people with some background in numerical methods. Previously this course has been held in one day. Extending it to two days make it possible to go deeper into Elmer programming.
Program
The program consists of lectures given by the Elmer developers and hands-on training sessions. Advanced users may also get some guidance on their own modeling problems in Elmer. A more detailed program will be given later. The extent of the days will be 9-16.30. At least the following themes will be included
- Structure of command file
- MATC language
- Basic programming (udf & solver)
- Parallel computation
- Auxiliary solvers
- 100 euros + VAT (23%) for Finnish academics
- 300 euros + VAT (23%) for others
