Elmer FEM Course

Elmer Course is intended for people who want to learn how to use and possibly even develop Elmer finite element software. The participants should preferably have some background in the field of partial differential equations. After the course the participants should be able to solve standard modeling problems themselves, have overall knowledge on the features of Elmer software and be able to write small subroutines themselves.

Program

Below is the preliminary program of the course. Minor changes in the program are possible and even likely.

DAY 1

9.00 Registration & Coffee
9.30 Welcome & practical information
9.40 Overview of Elmer
10.20 Demonstration of ElmerGUI
10.40 Guided exercises with simple walk-through examples in
heat transfer, fluid dynamics, structural mechanics and electromagnetics.

12.00 Lunch
~13.00 Exercises continue
13.30 Structure of Elmer simulation, MATC language
14.00 Exercises on manually editing the command file and MATC
14.30 Coffee
~14.50 Exercises continue
15.30 Strategies for pre- and postprocessing
16.30 End of Day 1

DAY 2

9.00 Basic programming of Elmer; APIs & DefUtils
10.00 Coffee
10.20 User defined subroutines & User defined solvers
12.00 Lunch
13.00 Parallel computing with Elmer (incl. parallel example)
14.30 Coffee
15.00 Discussion & User cases
16.30 End of course

If you're interested in deeper collaboration you may enquire about the possibility to extend the visit even further.

Note that the course is followed by a Paraview course. Paraview is an ideal companion for Elmer in demanding postprocessing.
