FiQuS
FiQuS stands for Finite Element Quench Simulator and the tools is a part of the STEAM framework.
The software is free to use and open-source.
FiQuS is based on Gmsh, GetDP and ONELAB.
FiQuS is developed in Python.
FiQuS requires a specifically compiled version of GetDP, called CernGetDP.
We maintain two versions of FiQuS:
- Open-source version that is an officially released code
- Development version that is for work in progress
