A generalized finite element discretization procedure allowing the definition of the problem to be solved by input data

The new version of the package COMPELL (rev. 2.0) is designed to extend to the finite element method the generalized data input already present in the finite difference version (rev. 1.0). The algorithm used is based on the Galerkin method, generalized to allow the discretization of any system of partial differential equations. In the package the procedure is designed only for plane or axisymmetrical second order partial differential equations under nonlinear time-varying conditions; the extension to higher order equations is straightforward in principle.
