FElt FElt is a free system for introductory level finite element analysis. 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 the problem in a CAD-like environment. FElt can solve the classic problems in linear statics and linear dynamics (i.e., problems of the form Kd = F or Md'' + Cd' + Kd = F). It can also solve the generalized eigenvalue problem (K - lM)x = 0. The element library consists of truss, beam (Timoshenko and Euler), constant strain triangular, bilinear planar isoparametric, plate bending (selective reduced integration quadrilateral) and isoparametric solid (eight node brick) elements.
