MoFEM (Mesh Oriented Finite Element Method) is an open source finite element analysis code developed and maintained at University of Glasgow, tailored for the solution of multi-physics problems with arbitrary levels of approximation, different levels of mesh refinement and optimised for high-performance computing. MoFEM is the blend of the Boost (C++ libraries) MultiIndex containers, MOAB (Mesh Oriented Database) and PETSc (Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation). MoFEM is developed in C++ and it is open-source software under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GPL).
Motivation
Building a scientific simulation environment for finite element methods is a complicated task. The greatest part of finite element code development is often expended in dealing with technical problems related to software implementation, rather than resolving the underlying physics that the code is intended to tackle.
The demand for accurate solution of increasingly complicated real-world problems means that the underlying data structures also become increasingly complicated. This is particularly evident with multi-physics, hp-adaptivity, and/or evolving geometries (e.g. crack propagation). Established commercial software is often limited in this respect, or can be relatively slow to adopt new technologies. This is the problem that MoFEM attempts to work around, recognising that it is increasingly necessary for engineers, scientists and mathematicians to carry out calculations using several mesh refinements, different approximation orders, multiple degrees of freedom and/or different scales.
History
The first version of was created in 2008 and named YaFFEMS in 2013 it was re-written and it was named MoFEM. MoFEM was initiated by two projects. First for Providing Confidence in Durable Composites (DURACOMP) [1] in consortium of three institutions University of Warwick, University of Glasgow, Newcastle University and several industrial partners.
