DOLFIN
DOLFIN is the C++ interface of the FEniCS project for the Automation of Computational Mathematical Modeling (ACMM), providing a consistent PSE (Problem Solving Environment) for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. Key features include a simple, consistent and intuitive object-oriented API; automatic and efficient evaluation of variational forms through FFC; automatic and efficient assembly of linear systems; and support for general families of finite elements.

Recent releases
- 07 Apr 2009 18:25
Changes: This version adds experimental support for the new UFL form language. It adds new functionality for FSI (moving meshes) and experimental support for parallel partitioning and distribution of meshes.
- 17 Feb 2009 22:02
Changes: This release introduces shared pointer support in the Python interface, improved adaptive mesh refinement algorithms, and improved ODE solvers. A number of bugfixes and other improvements have been made.
- 05 Jan 2009 18:24
Changes: This release brings major changes (improvements) to the user interface and introduces the new FunctionSpace class. The Python interface includes several improvements, in particular simple and automated just-in-time compilation of function expressions. The LinearPDE and NonlinearPDE classes have been replaced by a new class, VariationalProblem, which handles both linear and nonlinear variational problems. In addition, a large number of bugfixes and small improvements have been made. This release requires the latest versions of FFC (0.6.0) and Viper.
