FELyX - The Finite Element Library eXperiment

FELyX (Finite Element Library eXperiment) is an object oriented flnite element library written entirely in C++. It is designed to meet the demands of researchers and developers who want to have a ∞exible and easy-to-handle library allowing them to implement their own ideas and projects quickly. Therefore, the main focus of FELyX is laid on computational e‐ciency and ease of extensibility. FELyX provides all features for structural static analysis of complex real-world structures, as the relevant elements, an interface to a commercial FEA package, smart node reordering strategies and e‐cient solver algorithms. Beyond this, FELyX is an open source project freely accessible to everyone.
