Additional Information

Elmer Basic course is intended for persons with no or little prior knowledge of Elmer but some background on the solution of partial differential equations. The emphasis on the course will be on the use of Elmer through its graphical user interface, ElmerGUI. Also alternative pre- and postprocessing strategies will be reviewed, and command-line operation of Elmer will be explained. After the course the participants should be able to solve basic modeling problems themselves, modify them manually, and have basic knowledge on the features of Elmer software.

The basic course will be followed by a programming workshop where the idea is to guide the participants in the development of their own models. For more information on this workshop see:
