The first line (Grado) continued until 1451, while the second line (Cormons, later Cividale del Friuli, Cividale, and then Udine) co ...

FEniCS Project
The FEniCS Project is a collection of free and open-source software components with the common goal to enable automated solution of differential equations. The components provide scientific computing tools for working with computational meshes, finite-element variational formulations of ordinary and partial differential equations, and numerical linear algebra. Design and components The FEniCS Project is designed as an umbrella project for a collection of interoperable components. The core components are * UFL (unified form language), a domain-specific language embedded in Python for specifying finite element discretizations of differential equations in terms of finite element variational forms; * FIAT (finite element automatic tabulator), the finite element backend of FEniCS, a Python module for generation of arbitrary order finite element basis functions on simplices; * FFC (fenics form compiler), a compiler for finite element variational forms taking UFL code as input an ...
