Capytaine is a BEM solver prototype for the potential flow linear wave theory, written in Python and Fortran.
It is based on
- Nemoh's Fortran core routines for the computation of the Green function,
- meshmagick for the manipulation of meshes,
- and various tools from the Python scientific stack.
It's main purpose is to give developers and researchers an easier access to the inside gears of Nemoh.
For users, it can be used in a similar way as Nemoh's Matlab interface. Due to some experimental optimizations, it is significantly faster than Nemoh 2.0. See example/cylinder.py for an example of configuration and usage.
An installation guide is available in the wiki. Capytaine is still under development, please report any bug or lacking feature.
