Sierra Toolkit

The Sierra Toolkit contains the following products:

• Sierra Toolkit Linear-System Assembly

  The Sierra Toolkit Linear-System Assembly package supports assembly of matrix/vector contributions from stk::mesh data into FEI interfaces which in turn support Trilinos and FETI data structures.

• Sierra Toolkit Mesh

  The Sierra Toolkit Mesh supports parallel distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamically modifiable unstructured meshes with computational field data.

• Sierra Toolkit Search

  The Sierra Toolkit Search product provides...

• Sierra Toolkit Utilities

  The Sierra Toolkit Utility product provides many low level functions and classes which support the development of parallel applications.
