Elmer is a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software package for the solution of partial differential equations developed by CSC - IT (Center for Science). Elmer can deal with a great number of different equations, which may be coupled in a generic manner making Elmer a versatile tool for multiphysical simulations. As an open source software, Elmer also gives the user the means to modify the existing solution procedures and to develop new solvers for equations of interest to the user. Elmer offers a wide range of methods and techniques for the computational modeling of physical phenomena described by partial differential equations. In the following some of the most essential ones are summarized. The Elmer package contains solvers for a variety of mathematical models. The following list summarizes the capabilities of Elmer in specialized fields:

For approximation and linear system solution Elmer offers a great number of possibilities. The following list summarizes some of the most essential ones:
