COFFEE

Functional Description: COFFEE is a 3D BEM-accelerated FMM solver for linear elastodynamics (full implementation, 30 000 lines of Fortran 90). The 3-D elastodynamic equations are solved with the boundary element method accelerated by the multi-level fast multipole method. The fundamental solutions for the infinite space are used in this implementation. A boundary element-boundary element coupling strategy is also implemented so multi-region problems (strata inside a valley for example) can be solved.
