Gmsh GetDP question

[Guenter Milde]

Dear Christophe,

Browsing the fltk-(fast and light tool-kit)-bazaar-website I found a link to
Gmsh/GetDP and was very courious to see what kind of problems this could
solve. It seems to be a very interesting project.

For the project I am currently working on (simulation of a pyroelectric IR
sensor) I look for a FEM program that can solve a harmonic temperature
problem (1st. step) and a coupled pyroelectic/piezoelectric problem (with
the temperature field of the first step as input). I wonder whether
Gmsh/GetDP could solve this kind of problems or whether it would be possible
to extend the program to do so (relatively) easily.


BTW: I did a relative
exhaustive search for free fem-programs in both

   INTERNET FINITE ELEMENT RESOURCES: 
   www.engr.usask.ca/~macphed/finite/fe_resources/fe_resources.html, and
   
   Numerical-Analysis-Seite der "Scientific Applications on Linux": 
   SAL.KachinaTech.COM/B/2/index.shtml
but so far as I remember GetDP was not mentioned there. 

BTW_2: I did not find _any_ program that can do a harmonic analysis of a
temperature problem. 

Sincerely

Guenter
