What is MOOSE?

MOOSE (Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment) is a computational framework primarily developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). It's designed to solve complex, coupled, non-linear partial differential equations using the finite element method. MOOSE simplifies the development of new scientific applications by providing a modular and extensible software environment. It's commonly used for nuclear reactor simulations, materials science, and other areas requiring advanced multiphysics modeling.
