 _About:_
 
-**elfe3D** is a 3D forward modelling code that can simulate electric and magnetic field responses from frequency-domain controlled-source electromagnetic setups. It uses tetrahedral meshes and first-order finite-element approximations. In addition, adaptive mesh refinement approaches are implemented.
