FEM_TO_XML
Convert a Mesh from FEM to DOLFIN XML Format


FEM_TO_XML, a MATLAB program which reads FEM files of node coordinates and element connectivity, which define a mesh of a 1D, 2D, or 3D region and creates a corresponding DOLFIN XML file.

These mesh files can be used as input to DOLFIN or FENICS.

Usage:

fem_to_xml ( 'prefix' )
where prefix is the common filename prefix:
