This information is useful to know if a solver is current, or out of date and must be upgraded. The page shows the version of a particular solver in the repository of a particular Linux distribution. The FEM.md page looks at available open source FEA solvers that could be used with the FEM Workbench. The FreeCAD-dependencies repository tracks the dependencies of FreeCAD across many Linux distribution. A comparison can be found on .Īvailable solvers in various Linux distributions Wikipedia lists many finite element software packages. A forum topic to discuss and announce anything regarding the various solvers can be found here: General FEM solvers discussion topic. This means that in theory any solver which can be configured and controlled by means of text files is able to work together with FreeCAD a proper parser and writer of input and output files needs to be programmed for this communication to work. The interface between a solver and FreeCAD in pre-processing as well as post-processing is done through text files.

This page collects information on the finite element solvers used by the FEM Workbench.
