+The **fembem** library provides tools for finite elements and boundary integral equations, using the **castor** library. It's a C++ header only library, divided in two .hpp files:
 - __fem.hpp__ for finite elements tools,
 - __bem.hpp__ for integral formulations using boundary elements.

+### Important note:
 - The **castor** library should be fully installed with graphics tools (VTK) and linear algebra (openblas). For more informations, you can refer to installation procedure of the **castor** library. 
 - Compile in release mode (-O3 or -Os) to improve speed performance.
