Abstract

The version 2.0 of the Boundary Element Software for 3D Linear Elasticity (BESLE) is presented. BESLE is an open-source Fortran 90 code for the simulation of isotropic and anisotropic solids under quasi-static, dynamic, and high-rate boundary conditions using elastostatic and elastodynamic boundary element formulations. Compared to the initial release, this new version introduces a substantially simplified installation procedure. BESLE v1.0 required users to manually download, configure, and integrate external libraries such as MUMPS, SCOTCH, and ScaLAPACK, which often represented a barrier for new users. In contrast, version 2.0 provides an online installer, which automatically downloads, prepares, and installs the required libraries from public repositories. This new approach makes the deployment of BESLE straightforward, reducing installation time and minimising potential user errors. No changes have been made to the core numerical methods, input structure, or supported physics. BESLE v2.0 therefore retains full compatibility with existing simulations and examples, while significantly improving ease of installation, accessibility, and reproducibility.

BESLE：三维线弹性边界元软件。版本2.0

介绍了三维线弹性边界元软件（BESLE）的2.0版本。BESLE是一个开源的Fortran 90代码，用于模拟准静态，动态和高速率边界条件下的各向同性和各向异性固体，使用弹性静力和弹性动力边界元公式。与初始版本相比，这个新版本引入了一个大大简化的安装过程。BESLE v1.0要求用户手动下载、配置和集成外部库，如MUMPS、SCOTCH和ScaLAPACK，这通常对新用户来说是一个障碍。相反，版本2.0提供了一个在线安装程序，它可以自动从公共存储库下载、准备和安装所需的库。这种新方法使BESLE的部署变得简单，减少了安装时间，并最大限度地减少了潜在的用户错误。没有对核心数值方法、输入结构或支持的物理进行任何更改。因此，BESLE v2.0保留了与现有模拟和示例的完全兼容性，同时显着提高了安装的便利性，可访问性和再现性。

期刊介绍： The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper. Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP) These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged. Computational Physics Papers (CP) These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines. mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms; computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and algebraic computation. Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
