Matlab FEM Toolbox for Solid Mechanics is primarily intended for intermediate-level users allowing them to explore the power of FEM. It works under Windows, it is capable of solving linear problems in solid mechanics, and it offers extensive visualization features. Input data are described in a file with intuitive structure, which is illustrated using several examples included in the \fem\input directory.

FEM Toolbox is a free and open-source software, which is distributed under the BSD 2-Clause License. The Toolbox was written by Anton Zaicenco.

Solver:

FEM Toolbox can use its own function to solve the system of linear equations, where the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive definite and is stored in sparse format.

The solver is based on a templated C++ library for sparse matrices developed by the author, and can be compiled both under Linux and Windows.
