There are really good free and open source research FEA & CFD codes available, like FEniCS, Moose, Nek5000, OpenFOAM, SU2 and more. However, being research codes they can be diffic…

I often nowadays find GNU GFortran the same speed or faster than Intel Fortan for FEM/CFD codes, while 10-15 years ago Intel Fortan was 10-20% faster in general. So these days I ty…

Very interested in LFortran, are there any benchmarks how it compares with respect to performance to GFortran or Intel Fortran?

Thank you for explaining, I will have to explore this further as this opens up a lot of interesting possibilities. I find it very impressive that you have managed to get virtually …

This is very interesting and would never have guessed that it is possible. I would love to read a more detailed write up how all this works (is everything bundled to a large blob f…

I guess the thing is most people only use one solver, but at least when I was doing research it would be rare that two physics solvers based on different discretizations give exact…

Thanks for the honest feedback. I started building FEATool far too many years ago not getting anywhere in academia after too many postdocs, since it was the one thing I'm passionat…

Yes, I think the initial simulation definition/set up can be "easy", but once you get to parallel shared memory clusters it unfortunately have to be much more hands on. I had hoped…

Don't really know how this ended up on the front page now, but the overall "idea" that I have yet to find anyone else understand and believe in (even my old prof and colleagues don…

The first versions were open source asking for funding by donations. Although I would have really liked for FEATool to be open source (and I think such as tool would be ideally sui…

Very interesting, making simulations "easy and accessible" really resonates with me having spent far too many years single handedly trying to get traction for my "easy to use" engi…
