WIAS Software

Within the framework of the mathematical research at WIAS, scientific software is developed, which is used in the scientific cooperation projects and also licensed to users from science and industry. (contact: Dr. Torsten Koehler).

Currently the following packages are developed and maintained.

For a list of further software packages that are currently no longer being developed but still available and maintained, please refer to the archive ».


ALEA - Framework for high-dimensional functional Uncertainty Quantification

in cooperation with PTB
ALEA

ALEA is a free python library for research in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). Its focus is on functional spectral approximations on the basis of polynomial chaos and on the treatment of high-dimensional discretisations. For this, methods for low-rank approximations based on hierarchical tensors are incorporated.

BALaser for the simulation of dynamics in broad-area semiconductor lasers

BALaser

This software is used for simulations of the nonlinear dynamics in high-power edge-emitting (B)road-(A)rea semiconductor (Laser)s. It integrates numerically the dynamic traveling wave model defined in two spatial dimensions. When needed, it allows accounting for inhomogeneous current-spreading and heat-flow defined in all three spatial dimensions. It also executes different data post-processing routines and visualizes the obtained data.

TetGen - a Delaunay Tetrahedral Mesh Generator

TetGen

TetGen is a program for generating tetrahedral meshes from three-dimensional domains. One of its main applications is to generate suitable meshes for numerically solving PDEs by finite element and finite volume methods. TetGen uses Delaunay-based algorithms which have theoretical guarantees on mesh quality and mesh size.
