I am pleased to announce release 2009.3 of SfePy.
Description
-----------
SfePy (simple finite elements in Python) is a software, distributed
under the BSD license, for solving systems of coupled partial
differential equations by the finite element method. The code is based
on NumPy and SciPy packages.

Highlights of this release
--------------------------
Finally, SfePy has a basic support for Windows installation via numpy
distutils:
- still very experimental!
- the tests will not finish if umfpack is not installed, as the default
direct solver in scipy cannot handle some problems (see recent
sfepy-devel mailing list discussions).
Major improvements
------------------
- new scripts:
- cylindergen.py: cylindrical mesh generator
- updated scripts:
- postproc.py:
- quite usable now for fast first glance at the results
- plots point, cell data of all kinds (scalar, vector, tensor)
- Viewer is much more configurable
- probe.py:
- can probe selected quantities only
- isfepy:
- Viewer is much more configurable
- new tests and terms
Applications
------------
- phononic materials:
- plotting improved
- caching of eigen-problem solution and Christoffel acoustic tensor
- schroedinger.py:
- choose and call DFT solver via solver interface
