1. Introduction

neon is a finite element solver written in C++. It aims to solve industrial style finite element problems exploiting modern multicore architectures such as GPUs to accelerate simulations. The finite element problem definition is specified through a json format input file. Information regarding material, parts, constitutive models, boundary conditions and solution techniques are specified in this input file.

The mesh file is also given in json format which makes it trivial to parse and provides a standardised mesh format that includes syntax highlighting and code folding features.

A containerised version of neon is also available at Dockerhub, which allows the build environment to be simply reproduced.
