Jorge Gonzalez 9e3a1a771b Modification in boundary conditions: 
- Now absorption scatte the particle  properties into the edge nodes.
  - New boundary condition 'transparent' subsitute old absorption.

Introduction

Welcome to fpakc (Finite element PArticle Kinetic Code), a modern object oriented Fortran open-source code for particle simulations of plasma and gases. This code works by simulating charged and neutral particles, following their trajectories, collisions and boundary conditions imposed by the user.

One of our aims is to make a code easy to maintain as well as easy to use by a variety of reserchers and students.

This code is currenlty in very early steps of development.

The code aims to be easy to maintain and easy to use, allowing its application from complex problems to easy examples that can be used, for example, as teaching exercises.

Parallelization techniques such as OpenMP, MPI will be used to distribute the cpu load. We aim to make fpakc GPU compatible in the future.

The codefpakc makes use of finite elements to generate meshes in complex geometries. Particle properties are deposited in the nodes and cells of the mesh. The electromagnetic field, with the boundary conditions imposed by the user, is solved also in this mesh.
