fem2d_heat_test

fem2d_heat_test, a C++ code which calls fem2d_heat(), which applies the finite element method to solve a form of the time-dependent heat equation over an arbitrary triangulated region.

This mesh uses 81 nodes and forms 32 quadratic triangular elements.

We assume that the equation to be solved is

dUdT - Laplacian U + K * U = F

K = 0,

F = (2*pi*pi-1)*sin(pi*x)*sin(pi*y)*exp(-t).

U = sin(pi*x) * sin(pi*y) * exp(-t).
