pdnMesh is a 2 Dimensional finite element analysis program. It can be used to solve Electrostatic, Magneto-static, Heat flow and Fluid dynamic problems. It can also do post processing to visualise the solution. It is possible to import CAD DXF files (ASCII) into pdnMesh and convert them to a format for problem definition. I must confess that being an electrical engineer, I wrote pdnmesh exclusively for electrical engineering problems. So you will see a strong bias towards electrical engineering in the following pages. However, pdnmesh can be used to solve 2D field problems pertaining to other areas.
Let us consider what you need to install pdnmesh. We can list them as follows.
I am sorry but right now pdnmesh does not work on MS Windows platforms (yet).
