General improvements

• MUMPS linear solvers fully supported.
  Note: MUMPS software is public domain, based on public domain software developed during the Esprit IV European project PARASOL (1996-1999). It has also been supported by CERFACS, ENSEEIHT-IRIT-CNRS, LIP-INRIA-Rhone-Alpes, LBNL-NERSC, and PARALLAB. For a complete description of the MUMPS solver, see the related home page: http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/index.html
• Importation of SEM in most of analysis drivers

Known limitations & bugs

General

• Quad8 and Tri6 shell elements are not yet supported (no quadratic elements).
• Line3 beam, rod and wire elements are not yet supported (no quadratic elements).

OOFELIE::Vibroacoustics

• 'Acoustic Rayleigh surface' data is only supported in fully coupled harmonic direct solver at the present time.
• 'Acoustic BEM surface' data is only supported in fully coupled harmonic direct solver at the present time.
• No support of symmetry and anti-symmetry planes in FMM solver

OOFELIE::Electromagnetism

• If an infinite transformation is already defined in a sfield file, the data should be reedited and the transformations in each direction should be activated before calling the solver.
• Electromotive Source are fully supported only when the support are faces of solid on which 'Active conductor' is defined. Transient analysis is not supported at the present time.
• Electromagnetic plate and wire are not fully supported.
• Quadratic volume elements are not supported.

OOFELIE::MEMS

• Electrostatic FMM solver can be called only when all boundary conditions are prescribed potentials.
• No support of symmetry and anti-symmetry planes in electrostatic FMM solver
• 'Stokes Flow BEM Surface' for internal problem is not supported yet

OOFELIE::FSI

• No automatic detection of sharp edges in 'fluid structure interaction' assembly definition
