Elmer (FEM) is available for OS X?

Post by irisemars »

I'd seen Elmer suggested as a finite element method package in this subreddit and was curious if it can be used on OS X (or does it need a Windows environment/wine)? As far as I'm aware, it seems to only be available on Windows although I believe there are discussions on other forums about using it on OS X (although no real details from what I've seen) and I was curious if there is such a release freely available?

If you are interested in compiling it yourself, here's a series of videos on how to install Elmer.

The first one shows how to use Homebrew's gcc compiler and the second one how to install a full fledge version of Elmer with MPI and ElmeGUI
