Open source FEM software for polymer modeling

Hello Jorgen,

can you recommend a free finite element software with good capabilities in polymer modeling. Especially I am searching for stable (linear) elements for incompressibility and for a stable contact algorithm. I had a look at Code_Aster, but capabilities are still limited in this special field. Thanks

Best regards

Hi,

although Im not Jorgen 😎 you could have a look at [URL= http://www.calculix.de/ ]calculix[/URL] or [URL= http://sfepy.org/doc-devel/index.html ]sfepy[/URL]. I have not used both of these programs, but they have hyperelastic material models implemented.

Best Regards,

Andreas
