Coreform Cubit : A commercial software package for mesh generation, geometry simplification, and mesh-based simulations.
Cubit : A Sandia National Laboratory software package for mesh generation, geometry simplification, and mesh-based simulations.
DAGMC : Direct Accelerated Geometry Monte Carlo toolkit
FEA: Finite Element Analysis
MOAB : Mesh-Oriented datABase
OpenMC : An open-source Monte Carlo code for neutron and photon transport.
EntitySet: An arbitrary collection of entities in MOAB, including other EntitySet's. Parent-child relationships between EntitySet's can also be established. Synonymous with the term MeshSet.
MeshSet: A collection of entities in MOAB. Synonymous with EntitySet.
Tag: A named data field that can be associated with entities in MOAB. Each tag has an immutable data type. The size of the data can be fixed or variable.
GPRT : General Purpose Raytracing Toolkit
XDG: Accelerated Discretized Geometry
subdomain: A region of a mesh that is bounded by surfaces. In the context of XDG, a subdomain is a region of a mesh that is bounded by surfaces that are treated as interfaces between different materials. Also refferred to as a mesh block.
libMesh : A C++ finite element library that provides a framework for the development of parallel adaptive finite element methods.
