### pdnmesh-0.1.2 README file

    pdnmesh
    ========
    A 2D finite element program. It can do the following
    1)Mesh generetion using delaunay triangulation
    2)Adaptive refinement of the mesh while solving
    3)Solving the problem using LU decomposition
    4)Generating contour/mesh plot on display with Zooming ability
    5)Generating Postscript output of the mesh(mesh.eps) and the contour(cont.eps)
    6)Generating a data file(data.in) of the mesh that can be used in any other
    better finite element program

    How to INSTALL?
    ===============
    Please read INSTALL.

    The operation of the program
    ============================
    At command prompt, in Xwindows or MSWindows, type:
     pdnmesh -i your_input_file
    Type
     pdnmesh -h
    for help.

    DXF files generated by CAD programs can be converted to pdnmesh input format by using the d2m perl script given. Please read the documentation supplied for more information.

    ================
    This work was inspired and guided by Professor S.R.H.Hoole <hoole@cs.pdn.ac.lk>, a leading expert in  computational electromagnetics. For the red-black tree implementation, Thomas neimann's article and sample code was helpful. Most other algoritms were referred from Robert Sedgewick's book on Algorithmes.

    HINTS:
    Program has many bugs. The most common one being detecting IN/OUT of a boundary. To avaid that, slightly offset points that lie on a vertical or horizontal line.
