Hermes

Hermes is a C++ library for rapid development of adaptive hp-FEM / hp-DG solvers. Novel hp-adaptivity algorithms help solve a large variety of problems ranging from ODE and stationary linear PDE to complex time-dependent nonlinear multiphysics PDE systems. User documentation is provided separately for the Library, Tutorial, and Examples (links on the right). Hermes has an active User's Group where questions get answered quickly. The code is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
