+1 for having a FEM implementation. I've seen some of the codes in numerical GR (Cactus) and they are definitely not generic FEM implementations that one could apply to a wide range of problems ;-) On Tuesday, February 12, 2013 7:12:42 AM UTC, tdumont wrote: I like FreeFem++

I think this could be valuable, but it is not clear to me what SimPy can do. We definitely need more capability for simulation with interactive controls in Sage. If SimPy is all Tkinter-based, it might be hard to incorporate it into the notebook. At the moment the most promising route forward
