Quickfem - 2D Finite Elements

Quickfem, the 2D Finite Element Analysis App for Engineers and Students. FEA for Students Learn how finite elements and structural analysis works by starting out with simple models you can build directly on your phone or tablet. Play around with geometry, constraints, loads, materials and results to augment the theory. FEA for Engineers FEA is hard. Most problems are 3d and complex and require the major packages such as Ansys, Abacus, Patran, Nastran etc. But engineers have to know what to expect from these models and this insight stems from the understanding of simple mechanisms and effects. With Quickfem, you have the most convenient FEA modeller imaginable in your back pocket! Simple touch geometry creation, automatic meshing, quick mesh refinement, simple constant strain elements, and near solution instant feedback creates the tight iteration loops necessary for rapid discovery. Running on your mobile device, Quickfem gives you the freedom to create and understand structural models wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Know what to expect.
