2 Compiling and Installing

NetFEM is part of CHARM++, so it can be downloaded as part of charm. To build NetFEM, just build FEM normally, or else do a make in charm/net-linux/tmp/libs/ck-libs/netfem/.

To link with NetFEM, add -module netfem to your program's link line. Note that you do not need to use the FEM framework to use NetFEM.

The netfem header file for C is called ``netfem.h'', the header for fortran is called `netfemf.h'. A simple example NetFEM program is in charm/pgms/charm++/fem/simple2D/. A more complicated example is in charm/pgms/charm++/fem/crack2D/.
