The schedule of the DUNE Course at IWR, University Heidelberg, Germany, is online. Please see the course homepage at http://conan.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/dune-workshop/ for more details. We are pleased to annouce that the second day of the DUNE ... [More] course will be contributed by the DUNE developers at IAM Freiburg. By participating in this course scientists have the opportunity to get a hands-on introduction to the DUNE framework. Main focus is to give a detailed introduction to the DUNE core modules: the grid interface including IO methods with its numerous grid implementations and a brand new module supporting easy and natural discretizations. In the exercises elliptic and hyperbolic model problems will be solved with various methods. In addition, a course on advanced C++ programming will be held before the DUNE workshop on March 23-24, 2009. [Less]

ALUGrid version 1.14 has been released. The code compiles now also on Mac OS X systems. The new version is available from the ALUGrid page.

Bernd Flemisch brought up the idea of a Dune User Meeting. Bernd offers to organize such a meeting if there is enough interest in the Dune community. He setup a doodle poll to find out how much interest in a Dune User Meeting there actually is ... [More] (http://www.doodle.com/vzx9zbnz7aup8485). The poll is open until Friday, 9th of October. So please, Dune users out there, give your vote on this poll. [Less]

We have created the release branch for the upcoming Dune 1.2 release. The release will contain the modules dune-common, dune-istl, dune-grid, dune-grid-howto, and dune-grid-dev-howto. These modules can be downloaded using subversion svn checkout ... [More] https://svn.dune-project.org/svn/dune-common/releases/1.2 dune-common Martin Nolte and Oliver Sander have been named release managers. We intend to concentrate on stability and documentation for a few weeks and have the actual release by the beginning of next month. [Less]

An updated patch set for UG has just been released. You need these patches if you want to use UGGrid from the Dune svn development branch. They contain various bug fixes and improvements, mainly related to using very large coarse grids making ... [More] the parallel features of UG available in Dune. The new patches are available for download with the installation instructions. [Less]

ALUGrid version 1.13 has been released. The new C++ standard is now completely supported. The new version is available from the ALUGrid page.

IWR, University Heidelberg, Germany http://conan.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/dune-workshop/ In many areas of science and engineering numerical simulation is an important tool for research and development. Current simulation trends range from ... [More] multiscale-/multiphysics modelling to the usage of parallel machines with PetaFlops performance. The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE) tries to fit these heterogeneous requirements inside a single environment with novel numerical techniques as well as state-of-the-art software development methods. By participating in this course scientists have the opportunity to get a hands-on introduction to the DUNE framework. Main focus is to give a detailed introduction to the DUNE core modules: the grid interface including IO methods with its numerous grid implementations and the iterative solver module ISTL. In the exercises elliptic and hyperbolic model problems will be solved with various methods. In addition, a course on advanced C++ programming will be held before the DUNE workshop on March 23-24, 2009. [Less]

A new patch file for UG has been uploaded and can be found here. It includes a new method that is needed to properly implement the boundaryId() method. If you use UGGrid and the DUNE developer branch you have to get this new patch file before updating dune-grid. Sorry for the hassle.

We are pleased to announce the release of Version 1.1.1 of the "Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment" (DUNE) (download). This version is a bug fix version of the previous release 1.1. DUNE is free software licensed under the GPL (version 2) ... [More] with a so-called "runtime exception". This licence is similar to the one under which the libstdc++ libraries are distributed. Thus it is possible to use DUNE even in proprietary software. The changes to from version 1.1 to version 1.1.1 are listed in the release notes. For detailed information a file containing the differences of the source file from each core module is available in the download directory. [Less]

ALUGrid version 1.12 has been released. METIS 5.0 and PARTY 1.99 are now supported. The new version is available from the ALUGrid page.
