PHLEX®

PHLEX® is a Finite Element commercial computational kernel. Analytical results are not particularly useful if you cannot estimate their reliability. PHLEX provides the ultimate control of the error in the finite element method by automatically adapting the element size and its order of approximation using residual error estimates on three-dimensional unstructured meshes.

PHLEX has a generic framework to solve arbitrary systems of second order partial differential equations. PHLEX is already at the heart of P3CFD from PDA Engineering, a general-purpose fluid dynamics program, and UNISIM from Texaco, EPTD, a reservoir simulator. PHLEX has a MOTIF-based user interface, contains a complete engineering visualization package, and runs on vector/parallel UNIX platforms.
