MINC (Medical Imaging NetCDF) is a medical imaging data format and an
associated set of tools and libraries. MINC was created in 1993 by Peter
Neelin at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre of the Montreal Neurological
Institute. Many others have contributed to the design and implementation
MINC over the years.

The function of ElmerPost is to visualize the numerical results produced
by ElmerSolver and other finite element programs. ElmerPost operates with
the data specific to the unknown variables (temperature, velocity,
pressure, displacement etc.) defined in the mathematical model. ElmerPost
plots e.g. contours and vector fields, and can manipulate computed data
into another form using the built-in MATC-language (for instance heat
fluxes from temperature distributions).

ElmerFront is a tool for initializing the computational process in Elmer.
It communicates with external software producing geometrical data, i.e.,
CAD files and computational meshes. ElmerFront generates its own finite
element meshes, allows the user to build mathematical models graphically,
and finally produces input data for ElmerSolver.

ElmerSolver is thus an independent module that processes the computational
mesh and the model input file containing references to the selected
equations and model parameters. ElmerSolver makes the equations into a
discrete form, handles coupled systems, non-linearities and
time-dependences, and provides output data for visualization.

Elmer is an open-source computational tool for multi-physics problems.
Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics,
electromagnetics and heat transfer. These are described by partial
differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).

extruded and rotated 3D geometries. ElmerGrid is independent but fully
supports ElmerSolver and ElmerPost. It may be used to create linear,
quadratic and cubic triangles and rectangles. It has also versatile
capabilities in mesh manipulation.
ElmerGrid may also be used in grid manipulation. ElmerGrid may, for
example, be used to transfer different mesh formats to that understood by
ElmerSolver or ElmerPost. ElmerGrid also includes mesh partitioning
routines that have been optimized for ElmerSolver. The partitioning may be
done by METIS or by a simple geometric division.
