 In the following list, you can find some external modules and external libraries, and some more libraries and tools which are prerequisites for their use.

-\item \textbf{ALBERTA}: External library for use as GRID. Adaptive multi Level finite element toolbox using Bisectioning refinement and Error control by Residual Techniques for scientific Applications. Building it requires a FORTRAN compiler \texttt{gfortran}. Download: \texttt{\url{http://www.alberta-fem.de}}.

 \item \textbf{ALUGrid}: External library for use as GRID. ALUGrid is build by a C++-compiler like \texttt{g++}. If you want to build a parallel version, you will need \texttt{MPI}. It was successfully run with \texttt{openmpi}. The parallel version needs also a graph partitioner, such as \texttt{METIS}. It was run successfully in combination with \Dune using \texttt{METIS}. \\
