Description:
This is a free translation of my notes and it may differ from original.
Elmer is an open source multiphysical simulation software. It includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, acoustics and etc. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).
git mirror:
There is unofficial git mirror of Elmer svn repository. It is sync each 2 hours using git-svn. Script: update_git-svn_mirror.sh. Tags for old commits were done using simple script: update_tags_list.sh.
Only I have write access to this git repo. And I don't use master branch for own commits. Temporary branches are used to prepare patches for upstream. For example: mailmap.
OpenHub service uses this git repo for processing project statistics, because original svn repo has some problems.
