Additional Information

Elmer is one of the most popular multiphysical simulation software published under open source. It has a large variety of physical models but still the users may need to extend the capabilities of the software by writing their own user defined functions or user solvers, or modifying the existing ones.

Elmer FEM programming workshop provides the opportunity to dwell into the coding of Elmer with the guidance of Elmer developers. The course is intended for who have at least a little background in finite element and Fortran programming. The sufficient level of Elmer knowhow may be obtained in Elmer Basic Course the previous day. For more details on that course see:

There is a small chance that the programming workshop could be extended for a 2nd day. If this is interesting to you, please mark it in the registration form.
