Replace outdated badges and roadmap prose with the current 2.0 focus areas, installation notes, and pointers to AGENTS.md. Rewrite CONTRIBUTING as a concise fork/test/layer-contract checklist aligned with the repo layout. - README: drop stale Travis/Gitter stack; document legacy module caveat - CONTRIBUTING: remove Quarto front matter; link architecture_layers checker

|
||
JuliaFEM.jl is an open-source finite element framework written in Julia.
|
||
The package is still **0.x**; the repository is in the middle of a deliberate
|
||
architectural reset toward a **stable 1.0** with a type-stable, zero-allocation,
|
||
GPU-friendly assembly pipeline. Many older READMEs and tutorials still describe
|
||
the previous API; when in doubt, trust the code and [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md).
|
||
Contributions (bug reports, docs, tests, and features) are welcome.
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
Current focus areas:
|
||
|
||
- `Element{K, P, S, N}` template with compile-time DOF layout.
|
||
- `DOFHandler` and `DOFBasedCOOAssembler` (zero-allocation hot paths).
|
||
- Microkernel-style physics in `src/domains/{continuum, heat, thermo_elastic}/`.
|
||
- Matrix-free `apply_K!`, `apply_M!`, Dirichlet, multipoint constraints,
|
||
IC(0) / Jacobi / block-Jacobi preconditioners and a generalized
|
||
eigensolver in `src/assemblers/`.
|
||
- A KernelAbstractions backend for the matrix-free path with a Float32
|
||
Metal smoke test in `test/backend/metal/`.
|
||
|
||
The legacy element-based API (`Problem`, `update!`, `Analysis`, …) is
|
||
still present under `src/legacy/` for backward compatibility but is not
|
||
the recommended entry point.
|
||
|
||
## Installing
|
||
|
||
```julia
|
||
using Pkg
|
||
Pkg.add("JuliaFEM")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## A modern minimal example
|
||
|
||
```julia
|
||
using JuliaFEM
|
||
|
||
mesh = create_structured_box_mesh(Hex8;
|
||
xmin = 0.0, xmax = 1.0, nx = 4,
|
||
ymin = 0.0, ymax = 1.0, ny = 4,
|
||
zmin = 0.0, zmax = 1.0, nz = 4,
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
S = @DOFSet{u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}}
|
||
ET = Element{Hex8, Lagrange{1}, S}
|
||
elements, handler = create_elements!(mesh, ET)
|
||
|
||
material = LinearElastic(E = 210e9, ν = 0.3)
|
||
kernel = ContinuumKernel(ContinuumFormulation{FullThreeD}(),
|
||
material, Displacement{3}())
|
||
|
||
asm = DOFBasedCOOAssembler()
|
||
cache = create_cache(asm, elements, handler, mesh, kernel)
|
||
assemble!(cache, asm, kernel, mesh)
|
||
K, f = extract_system(cache)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The same block is parsed from this file in `test/docs/readme_example.jl`, so it stays
|
||
copy-pasteable as the API evolves.
|
||
|
||
For a matrix-free Krylov solve, see
|
||
`test/assemblers/test_dof_based_apply_K.jl` and
|
||
`test/assemblers/test_eigensolve.jl`.

## Documentation
|
||
|
||
- [`docs/repository_layout.md`](docs/repository_layout.md): where to put new files
|
||
(full text under [`docs/src/repository_layout.md`](docs/src/repository_layout.md)).
|
||
- [`docs/`](docs/): Documenter-built API reference and user-facing index.
|
||
Historical Jupyter tutorials under [`docs/tutorials/`](docs/tutorials/)
|
||
(2015-2016 API; reference only).
|
||
- `src/<topic>/README.md`: short module notes (topology, mesh, materials, ...).

||
## Contributing
|
||
|
||
Please read [`docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) before opening a pull
|
||
request: fork and branch, keep changes review-sized, run tests, and describe
|
||
what you changed.
|
||
|
||
**Git commits.** Keep history easy to read: small commits, usually one file;
|
||
**two files** in one commit is fine when they are inseparable (e.g. a helper and
|
||
its only caller). An optional hook (`.githooks/`, set `core.hooksPath`) caps
|
||
staged paths at two. If that workflow feels unfamiliar, open your PR with tests
|
||
passing and ask for help splitting history in review.
|
||
|
||
**Code expectations.** Assembly hot paths must stay type-stable and allocation-free
|
||
after warmup; CI and [`test/assemblers/test_dof_based_zero_alloc.jl`](test/assemblers/test_dof_based_zero_alloc.jl)
|
||
guard that. The full suite:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use that locally before opening a PR; CI runs the same tests.
