FEMLAB is a general software package for modeling applied physics
problems in MATLAB. FEMLAB is built around a set of powerful PDE
solvers, and its equationbased design makes it ideal for modeling in many
different engineering fields, such as Structural Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics,
Electromagnetics, Chemical Engineering. Specifically, FEMLAB supports
the integration of problems from different fields - multiphysics - and integration
with dynamical systems through SIMULINK.  FEMLAB has solver capabilities
for systems of nonlinear transient PDEs in 1D, 2D, and 3D. The presentation
will provide and overview of FEMLAB and its capabilities with focus on application
examples on a number of boundary- and initial-value problems. Included in the
demonstration are examples using the features of the upcoming version 2.0 of
FEMLAB: 3-D CAD tools and mesh generation, and new iterative solver and
pre-conditioners.
