AMDiS (Adaptive MultiDimensional Simulations) is a C++ library to solve a broad class of partial differential equations (PDEs) using adaptive finite elements. Here you will find some information and tutorials about AMDiS usage/installation/extension...

Installation of AMDiS (Linux)

The buildsystem of AMDiS is based on CMake. For an installation with default parameters, create a build directory and call cmake:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[install_dir] ../AMDiS
make
[sudo] make install

where [install_dir] is some directory the files should be installed in. There, subdirectories lib/amdis/, include/amdis/ and share/amdis/ are created and filled. Here, we assume that ../AMDiS (relative to the build directory) contains the file CMakeLists.txt that configures the build process.

System requirements

AMDiS build with c++ compilers supporting the c++11 standard, e.g.

• gcc, version >= 4.7
• clang, version >= 3.1
• intel, version >= 2013

We assume the following libraries to be found in standard location:

• boost (modules: system, iostreams, filesystem, program_options, and date_time), version >= 1.48
• CMake, version >= 3.1

For the parallel AMDiS we require additionally

• ParMETIS, version >= 4.0
• PETSc, version >= 3.3

When PETSc is configured with ParMETIS, the version from PETSc can be used directly.

CMake options

When configuring AMDiS several options can be modified. For an interactive gui, use either ccmake, or cmake-gui.
