  We present a new numerical system using classical finite elements with mesh
adaptivity for computing stationary solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
The programs are written as a toolbox for FreeFem++ (www.freefem.org), a free
finite-element software available for all existing operating systems. This
offers the advantage to hide all technical issues related to the implementation
of the finite element method, allowing to easily implement various numerical
algorithms.Two robust and optimised numerical methods were implemented to
minimize the Gross-Pitaevskii energy: a steepest descent method based on
Sobolev gradients and a minimization algorithm based on the state-of-the-art
optimization library Ipopt. For both methods, mesh adaptivity strategies are
implemented to reduce the computational time and increase the local spatial
accuracy when vortices are present. Different run cases are made available for
2D and 3D configurations of Bose-Einstein condensates in rotation. An optional
graphical user interface is also provided, allowing to easily run predefined
cases or with user-defined parameter files. We also provide several
post-processing tools (like the identification of quantized vortices) that
could help in extracting physical features from the simulations. The toolbox is
extremely versatile and can be easily adapted to deal with different physical
models.
