FEAP

Overview

Multi-Dimensional finite element code for structural, continuum, solid mechanics, heat transfer, and coupled field simulations. Very flexible with static and dynamic time integration and steady state capabilities. Very modular with a rudimentary front and backend. Mostly in Fortran except for the backend graphics and the dynamic memory management system. This is a code for people interested in performing finite element code development research and those with particularly unusual problems that can not be handled with commercial codes.
