The Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Toolbox provides a powerful and flexible environment for the study and solution of partial differential equations in two space dimensions and time. The equations are discretized by the Finite Element Method (FEM).


The objectives of the PDE Toolbox are to provide you with tools that


Define a PDE problem, e.g., define 2-D regions, boundary conditions, and PDE coefficients.

Numerically solve the PDE problem, e.g., generate unstructured meshes, discretize the equations, and produce an approximation to the solution.

Visualize the results.
