NairnFEA is the open-source code engines engine in this package for doing finite element analysis calculations. It is object-oriented C++ code that can run on many platforms. The main calculations are parallel code. You run calculations by creating Input Files for FEA Calculations. Once the calculations are done, you have a variety of options for visualizing and analyzing the output.
