Documentation for users and developers

For those intending to be users of funtofem and not developers, the easiest way to install FUNtoFEM is by installing our anaconda package. Conda packages of funtofem are available for the Linux and Mac OS from our smdogroup channel. The user should first open a terminal and create a conda environment, such as F2F, and then install funtofem as follows with conda install.

conda create -n F2F python=3.9
conda activate F2F
conda install -c conda-forge -c smdogroup funtofem

All dependencies including linear algebra libraries, and our group's FEA software TACS will be automatically installed including C++ and Python libraries of funtofem. Optional dependencies such as OpenMDAO, ESP/CAPS will need to be installed by the user.
