Installing External Libraries

There are various external libraries that you can use together with DUNE. These include grid managers, file format libraries, fast linear algebra packages and more. On this page we list some of them and explain how they are obtained and installed.

dune-grid

Grid Managers

ALBERTAA grid manager for 2d and 3d simplicial grid with bisection refinement. Needed to use the AlbertaGrid class.
ALUGrid A sequential and parallel grid manager for 2d and 3d cube and simplex grids with nonconforming refinement. Needed to use the ALUGrid class.
UG A sequential and parallel grid manager for 2d and 3d hybrid grids with red-green and nonconforming refinement. Needed to use the UGGrid class.

File I/O

libamiramesh For reading and writing grids and data in the AmiraMesh file format.
Gmsh An open-source finite element mesh generator with basic CAD capabilities. Meshes can be imported by Dune.

Others

psurface A library for handling boundary parametrizations.

dune-istl

Pardiso
