Source Code:

• twod_backm2d.m calculates a mesh density function and generates a backm2d file readable by amiral.
• twod_bilinear.m integrates kernel(x,y) * basis function(x,y) * test function(x,y).
• twod_f_int.m computes the integral of f(x,y) times a test function.
• twod_gauss.m sets Gauss integration points for triangular elements.
• twod_getfaces.m finds element faces corresponding to a set of boundary nodes.
• twod_mesh.m generates a rectangular mesh with a prescribed density. This routine returns nodal coordinates, element connectivity, and the nodal indices of boundary nodes.
• twod_plotc.m produces a filled contour plot of triangular finite element data.
• twod_plotm1.m plots linear triagular mesh. Also works for quadratic straight sided elements.
• twod_plotm2.m plots linear triagular mesh. Also works for quadratic straight sided elements.
• twod_projectd.m, projects the derivative onto the continuous finite element space (ZZ projection).
• twod_readcad5out.m reads in solution data from a *.cad5out file generated with cadyf. This code is quite problem specific, since the *.cad5out file is setup to solve the Navier-Stokes equations.
• twod_readcadyf.m reads in mesh, connectivity and boundary node numbers from a *.cadyf file generated with amiral (preprocessor for cadyf). This code is quite problem specific, since the *.cadyf file is setup to solve the Navier-Stokes equations.
• twod_readcadyf1.m reads in mesh, connectivity and boundary node numbers from a *.cadyf file generated with amiral (preprocessor for cadyf). This code is quite problem specific, since the *.cadyf file is set up to solve the Navier-Stokes equations.
• twod_shape.m computes test functions and derivatives on an element given element coordinates and Gauss points. Optimized for straight-sided elements. Use "twod_shapeiso" for isoparametric elements.
• twod_shapeiso.m computes test functions and derivatives on an element given element coordinates and Gauss points. Specifically set up for isoparametric elements. Use "twod_shape" for linear elements.
• twod_to_tecplot.m writes out a 2D finite element solution to a file, in a format readable by TECPLOT.
• twod_to_vu.m writes out a 2D finite element solution to a file, in a format readable by Vu.
