# getdp-sparskit(1)

a General environment for the treatment of Discrete Problems

## NAME

GetDP - a General environment for the treatment of Discrete Problems

## SYNOPSIS

**getdp-sparskit \[file\] \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

*GetDP* is a general finite element solver using mixed elements to discretize de Rham-type complexes in one, two and three dimensions. The main feature of *GetDP* is the closeness between the input data defining discrete problems (written by the user in ASCII data files) and the symbolic mathematical expressions of these problems.

*GetDP* is a command-line program. See *Gmsh* for a graphical front-end.

*getdp-sparskit* is *GetDP* version compiled with sparskit support.

## WARNING
