The Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Toolbox contains tools for the study and solution of PDEs in two space dimensions (2-D) and time, using the finite element method (FEM). Its command line functions and graphical user interface can be used for mathematical modeling of PDEs in a broad range of engineering and science applications, including structural Mechanics, electromagnetics, Heat Transfer, and diffusion.
