INTRODUCTION
During the last several years, the finite element method has evolved from a linear structural analysis procedure to a general technique for solving non-linear partial differential
equations. An extensive literature exists on the method describing the theory necessary
to formulate solutions to general classes of problems. It is assumed that the reader is
familiar with the finite element method as describe in popular reference books (e.g.,
The Finite Element Method, 7th edition, by O.C. Zienkiewicz, R.L. Taylor and J.Z.
1
Zhu and The Finite Element Method for Solid & Structural Mechanics, 7th edition,
2
by O.C. Zienkiewicz, R.L. Taylor and D.D. Fox ) and desires either to solve a specific
problem or to generate new solution capabilities.
The Finite Element Analysis Program - Personal Version (FEAPpv) is a computer
analysis system designed for:
1. Use in an instructional program to illustrate performance of different types of
elements and modeling methods;
2. In a research, and/or applications environment which requires frequent modifications to address new problem areas or analysis requirements.
The computer system has been developed primarily for Apple, UNIX and Windows
environments and includes an integrated set of modules to perform input of data describing a finite element model, construction of solution algorithms to address a wide
range of applications, and graphical and numerical output of solution results.
A problem solution is constructed using a command language concept in which the
solution algorithm is written by the user. Accordingly, with this capability, each user
may define a solution strategy which meets specific needs. There are sufficient commands included in the system for applications in structural or fluid mechanics, heat
