Abstract

GRTresna is a multigrid solver designed to solve the constraint equations for the initial data required in numerical relativity simulations. In particular, it is focussed on scenarios with fundamental fields around black holes and inhomogeneous cosmological spacetimes. The code is based on the formalism in Aurrekoetxea, Clough & Lim arXiv:2207.03125 and can be found at https://github.com/GRTLCollaboration/GRTresna
