FMS 0.2 Released

As part of the Exascale Computing Project’s CEED software suite, FMS provides a high-order Field and Mesh Specification interface that allows a wide variety of applications and visualization tools to represent unstructured high-order meshes with general high-order finite element fields defined on them. FMS is intended as a lightweight format and API that can represent general finite elements within a common, easy to use framework. This includes high-order solutions and meshes as well as non-standard finite elements, such as Nedelec and Raviart-Thomas elements. Version 0.2 includes:

• Lightweight API to represent general finite element meshes + fields
• I/O in ASCII and Conduit binary format
• FMS visualization support in VisIt v3.2
• Common, easy-to-use framework
