FEniCS

FEniCS is a popular open-source computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs).

FEniCS can be built with various extensions, so we do not offer a single, global installation. Please choose between

• Installation in a virtual environment
• Using a Singularity container

Installation in a virtual environment

These are instructions for installing FEniCS version 2.0.

To run the installed program, perform the following operations to set up your environment:

File : fenics_run.sh

module load hdf5-mpi/1.8.18 boost eigen python/3.5 scipy-stack/2017b petsc/3.7.5 fftw-mpi/3.3.6
source ~/software/dolfin/share/dolfin/dolfin.conf
source ~/fenics/bin/activate

FEniCS add-ons

First install FEniCS following instructions above.

mshr

File : mshr_install.sh

module load hdf5-mpi/1.8.18 boost eigen python/3.5 scipy-stack/2017b petsc/3.7.5 fftw-mpi/3.3.6

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/$USER/software/dolfin/share/dolfin/cmake/:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

git clone https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/mshr.git
cd mshr
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/software/mshr   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$NIXUSER_PROFILE:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH -DEIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR=$EBROOTEIGEN/include 

make
make install

Then run

File : fenics_mshr_run.sh

module load hdf5-mpi/1.8.18 boost eigen python/3.5 scipy-stack/2017b petsc/3.7.5 fftw-mpi/3.3.6
source ~/software/dolfin/share/dolfin/dolfin.conf
source ~/fenics/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/software/mshr/lib/python3.5/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/software/mshr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Using a Singularity container

The following Singularity Recipe will download the FEniCS Docker image, install it, and download additional packages, e.g., various Python packages. This recipe must be run on your own machine, that is, a Linux machine with Singularity installed where you have root access.

To build your FEniCS image using this recipe, run the following command:

 sudo singularity build FEniCS.simg FEniCS-ComputeCanada-Singularity-Recipe

and then upload FEniCS.simg to your account. The FEniCS Docker image places a number of files in /home/fenics.
