Subject: FEATool v1.3 released, Multiphysics Toolbox for Matlab and Octave
Precise Simulation Ltd. is glad to be able to announce FEATool v1.3, a
FEM multiphysics toolbox for GNU Octave and Matlab. FEATool features a
fully integrated, easy to use, and extensible simulation environment
with support for both GUI and working on the command line with
m-script files. Version 1.3 includes the following features
- Save and share models, postprocessing, and visualization results
online and to the cloud with Plotly.
- Support for external solvers, grid generation (for example Triangle)
and postprocessing tools directly callable from the GUI.
- Save and export files as Octave/Matlab m-script files. Records the
modeling process in the GUI, after which you can modify and replay it
on the command line. Useful to create parametric studies and
simulation runs, and also to learn and understand the FEATool function
syntax.
- Solver enhancements with full Newton iterations for steady nonlinear
problems, and the strongly A-stable fractional step-theta scheme for
time dependent problems.
- Improved 2D geometry and automatic grid generation engine with
increased accuracy and treatment of multiple geometry objects and
subdomains.
- GUI and command line support for model constants and expressions.
Allows for a convenient way to enter model parameters and complex
expressions which can be changed and edited without changing the
model, for example during parametric studies.
- Now also with full GNU Octave command line and GUI support, and many
new example models and tutorials.

MSRI-LBNL Summer Course in Electronic Structure Theory
Dates: July 18 - 29, 2016
Location: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA
Organizers: Lin Lin (UC Berkeley and LBNL), Jianfeng Lu (Duke
University), James Sethian (UC Berkeley and LBNL)
Ab initio electronic structure theories, particularly represented by
Kohn- Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), have become workhorse
tools with a wide range of scientific applications in chemistry,
physics, materials science, biology, and related fields. At the same
time, there is an urgent need for new techniques to greatly extend the
applicability and versatility of these approaches. At the core, many
of the challenges are essentially mathematical and computational. The
purpose of the workshop is to provide a general and self-contained
introduction to electronic structure theory. At the end of this
course, students will have a solid grasp of basic concepts in quantum
mechanics, ground state electronic structure theory and linear
response analysis, and be ready to perform research on frontier topics
in applied analysis and numerical methods for electronic structure
theory.
