+Description: piecewise linear bijections between triangulated surfaces -- development files
+ Psurface is a C++ library that handles piecewise linear bijections
+ between triangulated surfaces. These surfaces can be of arbitrary
+ shape and need not even be manifolds.
+ .
+ There are two main uses for psurface. When doing adaptive finite
+ element simulations on grids with parametrized boundaries, psurface
+ can store the parametrization. Boundary parametrizations are
+ practically mappings from the coarse grid boundary to the actual
+ boundary, and if that actual boundary is a triangulated surface then
+ psurface can handle it. This is implemented, for example, in the
+ dune-grid module of Dune.
+ .
+ Secondly, when doing domain decomposition methods with nonconforming
+ interfaces, you need to relate the two interface grids to each
+ other. Psurface can do this for you, even if your interfaces do not
+ match geometrically. Such is the case, e.g., in contact
+ problems. This second functionality is also available for 1d surfaces
+ in 2d space.
+ .
+ The easiest way to use psurface for domain decomposition is to get
+ the dune-grid-glue module and use it to drive psurface.
+ .
+ This package contains the development files.
