Partial Differential Equation Toolbox    

The GUI Modes

The PDE solving process can be divided into several steps:

  1. Define the geometry (2-D domain).
  2. Define the boundary conditions.
  3. Define the PDE.
  4. Create the triangular mesh.
  5. Solve the PDE.
  6. Plot the solution and other physical properties calculated from the solution (post processing).

The pdetool GUI is designed in a similar way. You work in six different modes, each corresponding to one of the steps in the PDE solving process:
