			The LibMultiScale Library has been designed to be a high performance tool to study
			the mutiscale methods currently employed in material simulations. The component
			design of the project distinct the base code components (Continuum mechanics code
			implemented through finite element, meshless, XFEM or molecular dynamics codes) from
			the coupling components. Other services like dumpers (logging the state of the
			simulated system to files or memory),
			stimulators (initial conditions, thermostats) or computes (general computation)
			are provided.
