Getting started

Installation 🛠️

conda

The conda environment required to run the code can be extracted from the file environment.yml. Additional path tweaking with conda-develop may be required for all FEniCS (dolfin module) and custom modules to be found.

The environment file should look like this:

name: fenics
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python=3.12.8
  - fenics=2019.1.0
  - meshio=5.3.5
  - scipy=1.14.1
  - pandas=2.2.3
  - control=0.10.1

Docker 🐳

[coming soon]

Run examples

After the conda environment has been set-up correctly, you can test the installation from a Python terminal:

1. Try importing FEniCS with import dolfin
2. Run examples from the examples folder: examples/cylinder/cylinderflowsovler.py and examples/cavity/cavityflowsolver.py. The main method of these scripts should launch fast simulations, only for testing purposes.
