MFEM is an open-source C++ library for solving partial differential equations using the finite element method, developed and maintained by researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the MFEM open-source community on GitHub. MFEM is free software released under a BSD license.[1]

The library consists of C++ classes that serve as building blocks for developing finite element solvers applicable to problems of fluid dynamics,[2] structural mechanics,[3] electromagnetics,[4] radiative transfer[5] and many other.
