This package contains the debug symbols for MAdLib.

MAdLib is a library that performs global node repositioning and mesh adaptation by local mesh modifications on tetrahedral or triangular meshes. It is designed to frequently adapt the mesh in transient computations. MAdLib is written in C++.

The adaptation procedure is driven by two objectives:

• make the edge lengths as close as possible to a (non-homogenous) prescribed length,

• maintain a satisfying element quality everywhere.

MAdLib can be used in transient computations in order to maintain a satisfying element quality (moving boundaries, multiphase flows with interface tracking, …) or/and to apply selective refinements and coarsenings (error estimators based, interface capturing: shocks, free surfaces, …).
