FELIPPA
Finite Element Quadrature Rules


FELIPPA is a C++ library which can generate quadrature rules (points and weights) for a variety of 1D, 2D and 3D regions of interest for computations involving the finite element method (FEM).

Regions for which rules are available, with a count of Corners, Edges, and Faces, include:
