Software

• Netgen/NGSolve is a mesh generator and a high performance multiphysics finite element software that I mainly work with
• ngsxfem is an Add-On library to Netgen/NGSolve which adds the essential features to implement geometrically unfitted FEM
• ngsxfem-jupyter contains several tutorials to get started with ngsxfem
