2. What is the software about?
The solver calculates the strongly coupled 
heat and moisture field for wood and is based on the finite element software elmer (http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/elmer) and extends it with special userfunctions for wood specific nonlinear material parameters and the possibility to simulate the sorret-effect and heat change due to evaporation. It is based on diffusion equations for heat and moisture. That's why it is not usefull above the fibre saturation point. Furthermore the influence of pressure gradients is considered negligible. This results in a low accuracy above 70°C. 
The modell also supports relative humidity as an extension to the classic dirichlet, neuman and cauchy boundary conditions.

The code is written entirely in Fortran95 and Fortran2000 and makes use of the object-oriented possibilities offered by those languages.

3. Compilation
It contains several files. To compile run make in XTwoodSim/MyLibrary
and the command "ElmerSolver" per command line in XTwoodSim/. A simple 
test case will be calculated with the results saved in XTwoodSim/cube/post/

If Materialfunktionen.f90 is changed run "make Materialfunktionen".
