Gmsh-Fem: An Efficient Finite Element Library Based On Gmsh

[en] GmshFem is an open source C++ finite element library based on the application programming interface of Gmsh. Both share the same design philosophy: to be fast, light and user-friendly. This paper presents the main principles of GmshFem, as well as some scalability results for high-order scalar and vector finite element assembly on multi-core architectures.
