LibMesh on different platforms

• Shane and Ehsan have started building libMesh on Cygwin.
• Travis still having trouble with XL compilers on AIX.

Atrial simulation

• Travis has a working simulation on an atrial mesh with a cubic cell model.
• 45000 nodes, 0.02 s time step, 1000 steps. Doesn't take much time to run.
• Using DenseMatrix::condense made implementing Dirichlet boundary conditions and their right hand side contributions simpler with less code.

Visualization

• Travis is having issues with GMV viewer with large meshes.
• Would be useful to have fieldml or simliar export for cmgui.

File formats

• Travis can get a mesh from ex* files and translate them into unv files for LibMesh through a script.

Cell parameters

• A cell with 100 parameters will commonly have only 2 that vary spatially.
• Need to share information where possible.
