CALFEM - Teaching the Finite Element method in Python by Jonas Lindemann

Abstract: CALFEM is toolbox for learning the finite element method developed by the Division of Structural Mechanics at Lund University for. During the recent years CALFEM has been ported to Python as many universities are using Python in the introductory courses. This talk gives describes the history and development of the Python version.
Bio: Jonas Lindemann, Director at LUNARC. Jonas has a background in Structural Mechanics where he worked on distributed finite element applications, new user interface concepts for engineering application as well as visualisation of material behavior in mechanical simulations. Since 2004 he has been working at LUNARC designing, implementing and operating HPC resources for Lund University. He is also actively engaged in teaching scientific computing (Python, C++ and Fortran) for graduate as well as post graduate students. At LUNARC he has been the main developer of GfxLauncher and multiple other HPC related tools (ARC Storage Explorer, LUNARC Application portal and ml-browse a graphical module browser for lmod).
