About

🧮 suanPan is a finite element method (FEM) simulation platform for applications in fields such as solid mechanics and civil/structural/seismic engineering. suanPan is written in modern high quality C++ code and is targeted to provide an efficient, concise, flexible and reliable FEM simulation platform. suanPan is partially influenced by popular (non-)commercial FEA packages, such as ABAQUS UNIFIED FEA, ANSYS and OpenSees. On x86_64, Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) is used. On aarch64, OpenBLAS is used. If the performance is not optimal, consider using portable binaries from GitHub or compiling the application locally.
