It is primarily intended as a teaching tool for introductory +type courses in finite elements - probably in the +mechanical/structural/civil fields. In a command line environment, +FElt uses an intuitive, straightforward input syntax to describe +problems. It also includes a graphical user interface for workstations +that allows the user to set-up, solve and post-process the problem in +a single CAD-like environment. + +From the end-user point of view, FElt consists of six programs: felt, +burlap, velvet, corduroy, patchwork, and yardstick. felt is the basic +command-line application; burlap is an interactive Matlab-like +environment for scripting your own elements and analyses; velvet is +the primary GUI interface into the bulk of the functionality in FElt; +corduroy is command-line program for automatic element generation; +patchwork is a command-line application for file format conversion to +and from the FElt syntax; and yardstick is a simple program for +problem scaling and unit conversion. |
