digitalmars.D.learn - FEM library?

Is there any D library for FEM (Finite Element Method, see 
Wikipedia) solving, meshing, etc... already existing somewhere?

I'm asking because I'm considering making something in that field 
as a personal learning project. Depending on what can be found I 
can jump at some point to use a serious enough library or 
contribute to it...

Not that I'm aware of. A good starting point for the linear 
algebra is
Mir's ndslice[0] and DlangScience's scid[1] for the calculus. scid
has some other things that may be of use. I'm sure that the
DlangScience people would be interested in this and would be
willing to help out with anything.

Good luck!

Also, perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but 
https://code.dlang.org/packages/cassowary-d handles something a 
bit similar. It's old and not curently maintained trough, you 
probably have to fight deprecations a bit if you use it.

 Nicholas yes such a FEM library to be developed would heavily 
depend on Mir. Ilya Yaroshenko pointed me to it in another 
thread. I didn't know about DlangScience, thanks. Looks like 
there is some overlap?

 Dukc thanks!

Whenever in the future I'm developing for a library project or 
following it... Looks like those development threads currently go 
in the General board? Wouldn't it be better to split them 
together into one board within the Development section? Looks 
like inside General, library/project threads get lost and buried 
too quickly. I know many/most people are using this via email 
though, but still.

I think mir used to be part of DlangScience, but I don't really 
know the history.
Ilya and Seb are on both teams. From what I understand 
DlangScience is
and aggregation of science related projects as well as some "in 
house" stuff
see e.g. the stats stuff.

  Dukc thanks!

If you're looking for libraries (to use and/or to contribute) 
general is the place.
If you're wondering how they work/ how to use them, learn is 
best, although it could go in general.
If you've done something cool (like this!) put it on announce.
If you're participating in the development of then you'll want to 
use whatever medium the other dev use e.g. gitter/github
