Welcome to stat-fem’s documentation!¶
stat-fem
is a Python library for solving data-constrained finite
element analysis problems. It builds on the
Firedrake
Library to handle FEM description and assembly, and the
PETSc library for handling sparse
linear algebra and solving across multiple computer cores. stat-fem
is released under the LGPL open-source license and is free software.
You are free to use, modify, and distribute this software.
This software was written by members of the Alan Turing Institute Research Engineering Group as part of a project in the Lloyds Register Foundation Data-Centric Engineering Programme.
The following pages include a brief overview of the software, instructions for installation, and a walkthrough example illustrating how it can be used to solve an example problem. The documentation also outlines how computations can be parallelized to take advantage of multi-node and multi-core systems.

implementation can be found on the
