MILAMIN is a finite element method implementation in native MATLAB that is capable of doing one million degrees of freedom per minute on a modern desktop computer. This includes pre-processing, solving, and post-processing. The MILAMIN strategies and package are applicable to a broad class of problems in Earth science.

MILAMIN is documented in the G-Cubed article: "MILAMIN: MATLAB-based finite element method solver for large problems" by Marcin Dabrowski, Marcin Krotkiewski, and Daniel W. Schmid, doi:10.1029/2007GC001719.

Download the Matlab source code as a zip, unpack on your computer, and run one of the examples, e.g.

thermal2d_test

or

mechanical2d_test

MILAMIN works better with SuiteSparse package and it requires Triangle for the mesh generation.
