The deal.II tutorial contains a collection of programs, each more or less built atop of previous ones, which demonstrate various aspects of the library. Each such example has the following structure:
You can browse the available tutorial programs as a graph that shows how tutorial programs build upon each other (below); as a list that provides a short synopsis of each program; and grouped by topics. Some of the programs also jointly form the geodynamics demonstration suite.
The programs are in the examples/
directory of your local deal.II
installation. If you go into one of the tutorial directories, you can compile
the program by typing make, and run it
using make run. The latter command also compiles the program
if that has not already been done. The Makefiles in the different
directories are based on the small program Makefile template described
in this section.
In the graph above, green octagons indicate programs that show basic techniques. Orange boxes indicate advanced techniques, while the programs shown as yellow, light blue, and dark blue boxes are applications in fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and time dependent problems, respectively.
