The Nonlinear Finite Element Toolbox (NLFET)

NLFET is a nonlinear finite element toolbox for MATLAB released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The toolbox provides a framework for setting up, solving, and interpreting results for nonlinear static and dynamic finite element analysis.
- Manual – A short overview of NLFET in PDF format.
- Download – The source code for the toolbox in tar gzip format (WinZip should be able to extract this).
- Single Bay Example – Example code using the single bay frame from “A Nonlinear Finite Element Toolbox for Structural Control” presented at the Third World Conference on Structural Control.
- util.tgz – Utility functions in tar gzip format that are necessary to get the toolbox to run and for the examples.
It is now possible to browse the CVS repository or access it using anonymous access.
Example code for a semiactive control system using MR dampers is also available. Please contact info@nlfet.org if interested.
If you would like to help in the development of NLFET, or if you have any questions, please contact matt@nlfet.org.
