Partial Differential Equation Toolbox
Description
- Introduction and Key Features
- Working with the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox
- Defining and Solving PDEs
- Handling Boundary Conditions
- Toolbox Application Modes
Introduction
The Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Toolbox™ contains tools for the study and solution of PDEs in two space dimensions (2-D) and time, using the finite element method (FEM). Its command line functions and graphical user interface can be used for mathematical modeling of PDEs in a broad range of engineering and science applications, including structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, and diffusion.
Key Features
- Complete GUI for pre- and post-processing 2-D PDEs
- Automatic and adaptive meshing
- Geometry creation using constructive solid geometry (CSG) paradigm
- Boundary condition specification: Dirichlet, generalized Neumann, and mixed
- Flexible coefficient and PDE problem specification using MATLAB syntax
- Fully automated mesh generation and refinement
- Nonlinear and adaptive solvers handle systems with multiple dependent variables
- Simultaneous visualization of multiple solution properties, FEM-mesh overlays, and animation
