You need Mesa(3.0 or better) or the Open GL graphics library before you can build the GUI part of my code. Download it at the Mesa 3-D site:

Here are some Finite Element Resources on the Net. Basically, they are pages which have linked to mine.
  1. The INTERNET FINITE ELEMENT RESOURCES page -

  2. SAL - Scientific Applications on Linux -

  3. FEMur - Finite Element Method universal resource -

  4. Sourceforge The Premier host of Free Software and Open Source projects. They are also hosting SLFFEA .

  5. Freshmeat - Very current general software archive -

  6. FreeBSD Ports: CAD The FreeBSD people seem to view my software as mainly for CAD. That's fine by me. You can use this site as another download mirror.

  7. NEi Nastran is a powerful general purpose finite element analysis tool with an integrated graphical user interface and model Editor which is used to analyze linear and nonlinear stress, dynamics, and heat transfer characteristics of structures and mechanical components. This page on their site contains a list of engineering resources.

  8. Mark Hampsey's Ph.D thesis used SLFFEA for some of his work. The title is Multiobjective Evolutionary Optimisation of Small Wind Turbine Blades which you can read more about at the University of Newcastle Wind Energy Group's site . You can get a PDF file of it here .

  9. Bastiaan N. Veelo made a study of using Open Source in a paper called The Potential of Free Software for Ship Design. It contains a good survey of various Free engineering packages. You can get the PDF here .

  10. Linux Start - Their science page -

  11. Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site

  12. The Linux Software Encyclopedia

  13. General Finite Element Analysis Software Page

  14. Yet another Free FE Program database

  15. BeOpen.com

  16. Janghyun's page

  17. Roberto's page.

  18. FREE STRUCTURAL SOFTWARE page.

  19. Yet another very extensive FEA resources page.

  20. CS433 Course Project page The group working at this site did a Sun port of the brick, as well as make a study involving different solution methods. They've also parallelized the code.

  21. French FEA resources page.

  22. Braddock Gaskill's Bookmarks

  23. Qi Yang's homepage. He is working on a Windows port and has submitted some nice bug fixes . His page is also a good resource for MFC programmers.

  24. Dan Holstein's homepage. He wrote a GiD data converter for SLFFEA.

  25. Informacje Ogolne Page

  26. Olivier Magotte's Page

  27. SLFFEA tarfile mirror.

  28. Service d'Analyse Numerique

  29. Rowin Andruscavage combined FEA with Gnome 3D tetris using SLFFEA to make FEAtris . What an interesting use of Finite Element Analysis! This reminds me of Julian Holt's work.

  30. A Japanese software directory.

  31. Another extensive software directory.

  32. SecurityPortal.com

  33. Roland Smith's bookmark page

  34. Marcadores de Raimundo Fernandez's bookmark page

  35. The Civil Engineering Group Web Site

  36. XWING.ORG's excellent engineering resource.

  37. The PDE Portal. This site also has Diffpack, which is a software tool for FEA and simulation.

  38. A site focusing on graphics.

  39. An Italian software directory.

  40. Shen-Yeh Chen's Finite Element Analysis bookmarks.

  41. Antonio Carlos de Oliveira Miranda's Home page.

  42. Civil Engineering Online Tutorial.

  43. An Open Source Directory of stable applications.

  44. A German directory of numerical software.

  45. The Finite Element Modelling Group which is related to Queen's University, Belfast.

  46. Goodie Domain Service. This site of the Vienna University of Technology, Austria has about everything from Sourceforge, including extracted tarfiles so that you can see individual source files.

  47. This page has some interesting FEA links.

  48. This page is a "Directory of Engineering, FEA and CAD Freeware & Shareware". It has many links.

  49. SLFFEA is listed in this collection of BeOS applications . The site is a directory of software which can run on the BeOS operation system.

  50. SLFFEA is used as a reference in the article for Finite Element Analysis in structural mechanics in the online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Another version of this Wikipedia article is on the Top 20 Encyclopedia .

  51. This page has a good collection of scientific software links.

  52. Antoine Le Hyaric's has a very complete "List of Free Numerical Analysis Software" .

  53. Online Learning is a site dedicated to making a comprehensive resource for students and professionals in science in engineering. Their collection of material includes Open Source engineering programs , documents and graphics , ebooks , and technical drawings .

  54. Amber Hillman's page. Nothing to do with FEA, just someone who included one of my paintings in a collection of art dealing with figures.
Some very good GNU/Linux resources are at:

http://www.linux.org/

and

http://www.linux.com/
You should also visit the page of the Free Software Foundation:

[The GNU Project]
Dr.Pozrikidis of UCSD gave me a link from his lab's homepage at:

http://stokes.ucsd.edu/ .

He also has a book on the finite element method called Introduction to Finite and Spectral Element Methods using Matlab which you can get at:

http://dehesa.freeshell.org/FSEM/ .

The above site has all the Matlab codes contained in the book. It also has a list of useful links.
Finally, here's a link to the distribution of GNU/Linux that I use:
