Here are the new PDE2D 9.1 features:
- For 3D problems, the MATLAB postprocessing program now draws a picture
of the 3D region, then draws P1,P2 or P3=constant cross-sections
in 3D space, with color used to indicate the solution values (see
example ). This represents a big improvement
over PDE2D 9.0 for visualization of 3D solutions.
- 1D equations can now include Dirac Delta source terms, when the Galerkin
method is used. This was already possible when solving 2D problems,
with the Galerkin method.
- A third example has been added to the GUI documentation: a 1D time-
dependent damped wave problem (see screendump ).
- The GUI now generates surface plots as well as contour plots, for 2D
and 3D problems. For 1D time-dependent problems, plots at individual
times are now made, in addition to the x-t surface plots already
produced.
- Three minor bugs/design flaws were fixed:
- The output array UOUT (all dimensions) previously was dimensioned
differently in the main program and in the postprocessing subroutine
POSTPR, where its contents are documented. This created some confusion
for users attempting to write out or otherwise postprocess the solution
in the main program.
- Previously, an error resulted if a parameter named "Z" were used in
a 2D collocation problem. (The GUI and interactive driver allow Z
as a parameter for 2D problems, as they should, but this previously
resulted in a compiler error.)
- Previously there were sometimes problems with the MATLAB plots
produced by PDE2D (all dimensions), when a time-dependent problem
was terminated early due to an integral exceeding its user-specified
limit (SLIM8Z or BLIM8Z).
