JANFEA - Two-Dimensional Finite Element and Material Point Method Software

JANFEA is a full-featured finite element package for 2D finite element and material point method calculations. It now runs native on MacOS X and can do large meshes in relatively short amounts of time. Two particularly powerful features are script control and extensive color graphics capabilities. This software is excellent for both research and education. It has been in development for over ten years and grows every time I need a new feature. For more details and downloads, see the JANFEA Home Page.

This program is free educational software.
