Re: Using Elmer as a library from an external software

Thanks. I'll definitely take a look at those. Truth be told, I actually have major parts of the software already written. And it's somewhat in use. The real problem is that the custom FEM that has been written is too basic and not a 'real' solver. It's written to solve only certain really specific p...

Normally using any library that is compiled to a dll is just a matter of importing the dll to project and then, well, starting to use it. Now the f...
