Hysing [log in to unmask] Date: September 22, 2015 Subject: FEATool v1.3 released, Multiphysics Toolbox for Matlab and Octave Precise Simulation Ltd. is glad to be able to announce FEATool v1.3, a FEM multiphysics toolbox for GNU Octave and Matlab. FEATool features a fully integrated, easy to use, and extensible simulation environment with support for both GUI and working on the command line with m-script files. Version 1.3 includes the following features - Save and share models, postprocessing, and visualization results online and to the cloud with Plotly. - Support for external solvers, grid generation (for example Triangle) and postprocessing tools directly callable from the GUI. - Save and export files as Octave/Matlab m-script files. Records the modeling process in the GUI, after which you can modify and replay it on the command line. Useful to create parametric studies and simulation runs, and also to learn and understand the FEATool function syntax. - Solver enhancements with full Newton iterations for steady nonlinear problems, and the strongly A-stable fractional step-theta scheme for time dependent problems. - Improved 2D geometry and automatic grid generation engine with increased accuracy and treatment of multiple geometry objects and subdomains. - GUI and command line support for model constants and expressions. Allows for a convenient way to enter model parameters and complex expressions which can be changed and edited without changing the model, for example during parametric studies. - Now also with full GNU Octave command line and GUI support, and many new example models and tutorials.

At the same time, there is an urgent need for new techniques to greatly extend the applicability and versatility of these approaches. At the core, many of the challenges are essentially mathematical and computational. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a general and self-contained introduction to electronic structure theory. At the end of this course, students will have a solid grasp of basic concepts in quantum mechanics, ground state electronic structure theory and linear response analysis, and be ready to perform research on frontier topics in applied analysis and numerical methods for electronic structure theory.
