Project finished

This project has been carried out by Niloufar Rahi. You can downlad the report and the program.

Description

Distmesh is a set of simple, yet efficient, Matlab scripts for generation of triangular tesselations of 2D (and also 3D) domains. These tesselations are used for the numerical solution of partial differential equations by finite element methods.

Purpose of the project is to design a Matlab GUI (graphical user interface) and to implement the following tasks:

• Creation of simple shapes (rectangles, ellipses, polygons, etc.)
• Boolean operations on these shapes (e.g. union, intersection)
• Tesselation with DistMesh
• Postprocessing of the generated meshes
• Specification of mixed boundary conditions
• Export of meshes

Requirements

• Interest in Matlab programming (experience with Matlab beneficial, but not needed)
• Interest in (learning) LaTeX for documentation purposes
• Self-motivated working attitude

Size of the project

This project is a beginners' practical for one or two students. Required starting literature will be handed out in the beginning. The focus is on GUI design and programming. Much of the code behind the GUI is already available. A complete LaTeX documentation and a short presentation are a requirement for proper completion of the project.
