Partial Differential Equation Toolbox 1
Solve and analyze partial differential equations
The Partial Differential Equation Toolbox
®
extends the MATLAB technical computing
environment with tools for the study and
solution of partial differential equations KEY FEATURES
(PDEs) in two-space dimensions (2-D) and
■ Graphical interface for pre- and postprocessing 2-D PDEs
time. A set of command-line functions and
a graphical user interface let you preprocess, ■ Automatic and adaptive meshing
solve, and postprocess generic 2-D PDEs
■ Geometry creation using a constructive solid geometry paradigm
using the Finite Element Method (FEM).
■ Boundary condition specification: Dirichlet, generalized
The toolbox also provides modeling
Neumann, and mixed
capabilities for a broad range of
applications, including heat transfer, ■ Flexible coefficient and PDE problem specification using
electromagnetics, structural mechanics, MATLAB syntax
and diffusion.
■ Fully automated mesh generation and refinement
■ Nonlinear and ada
