Description
Finite-element methods have extensive applications in areas such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics research, fluid dynamics and bioengineering. While the methods are straightforward to implement for a wide variety of physical problems, researchers and students face two obstacles to their implementation: 1) Creation of quality conformal meshes for arbitrary application geometries (mesh generation) and 2) Efficient analysis of a large amount of numerical output data (post processing). Creating user programs to accomplish these tasks could involve man-years of effort. Commercially-available mesh generators are expensive and are often inflexible and proprietary. FE Builder solves both problems, allowing developers to concentrate their attention on finite-element solutions. The efficient, low-cost package includes a solid-modeling graphical environment (Geometer), an automatic conformal mesh generator (MetaMesh) and a fully-customizable universal postprocessor (FEVision). The package is well-suited for one-of-a-kind research applications as well as commercial distribution of finite-element packages.
