Contributors

A number of organisations have contributed to the development of ParaFEM. These are listed below.

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

• EPSRC have provided funds for the use of ParaFEM to support research in Materials Science through projects EP/D037867/1 and EP/F055595/1.

Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)

• NERC PhD studentship NER/S/A/2006/14033 supported the use of ParaFEM for research into dinosaur trackways.

European Framework Programme 7 (EP7)

• Two DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI-6) projects that use ParaFEM have received support through grant RI-222919 .

Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd (NAG)

• NAG Ltd have provided software development funding to add enhancements to ParaFEM through the HECToR dCSE mechanism.

Microsoft Research Cambridge Ltd

• ParaFEM is being used by a PhD Student funded through a Microsoft-Dorothy Hodgkins Postgraduate Award (DHPA).

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

• The Microsoft-DHPA award mentioned above is jointly funded 50/50 by BBSRC and Microsoft.

Simpleware Ltd

• Simpleware Ltd have provided consultancy on image based meshing and geometrically complex meshes comprising 100s millions of finite elements.

HECToR

• HECToR is the UK's High End Computing Terascale Resource. ParaFEM is one of the applications named in the HECToR service contract.

European Space Agency (ESA)

• ESA have provided PhD funding for studying the thermal and thermo-elastic properties of carbon and metallic foams through project ECC-20741.

Google Code
