MERLIN: a computer program to transfer data between finite-element meshes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6244982
The MERLIN program is designed to transfer data between two-dimensional, finite element meshes of arbitrary geometry. The program is structured to accurately interpolate previously computed solutions onto a given mesh and format the resulting data for immediate use in a variety of existing finite element codes. The theoretical basis and computational algorithms used in the program are described and complete user instructions are presented. Several example problems are included to demonstrate program usage.
