This paper describes enhancing mesh adaptation capabilities of GetFEM++ library. GetFEM++ is a versetile software package in C++ for implementing FEM based solvers for partial differential equations. Although GetFEM++ offers a wide range of mathematic tools for model descripion and discretization, it does only provide basic mesh refinement facilities. To enhance GetFEM++ capabilities, a mesh adaptation package MAdLib is used. The paper discusses basic requirements for mesh adaptation packages and presents MAdLib basic usage. The paper discusses implementation issues related to integration of both libraries. Examples illustrate capabilities of mesh adapation package and FEM framework extended by mesh adaptation facilities.Downloads
