Project Summary
DOLFIN is a C++/Python library that functions as the main user interface of FEniCS. A large part of the functionality of FEniCS is implemented as part of DOLFIN. It provides a problem solving environment for models based on partial differential equations and implements core parts of the functionality of FEniCS, including data structures and algorithms for computational meshes and finite element assembly. To provide a simple and consistent user interface, DOLFIN wraps the functionality of other FEniCS components and external software, and handles the communication between these components.
