Customer Support: No

Approximate Number of Users: 10

Pricing: Zip, zilch, zero.

Platform:

Fortran source.

Input: Native

essentially ordered lists of boundary points

Engineering Discipline: CFD

Elements: Triangle

Surface Meshing: No

Tri/Tet Method: Delaunay, Advancing Front

Background grid based on the users boundary point distribution. Ipol is a simple 2D tool to spline points on boundary curves.

Other Features: Boundary Layers, Anisotropy

Anisotropy in boundary layers, generates node-nested levels of multigrid

Comments:

During the development, I worked at Von Karman Institute, Brussels, Belgium, Aerospace Dept., The University of Michigan, Michigan, USA, CERFACS, Toulouse, France. I am currently at Computing Laboratory, Oxford University, Oxford, UK

There is a visualisation program that works well with delaundo, based on MIT's grafic. Although not available on the website, I could make it available, if there was interest
