MAT-fem has been written thinking about the joint interaction of GiD with MATLAB. GiD allows manipulating geometries and discretizations, writing the file as MATLAB need it. Through MATLAB the calculation program is executed, without losing the MATLAB advantages. Finally GiD gathers the output data files for its graphical visualization and interpretation.
This scheme allows understanding in detail the execution a Finite Elements program, following step by step each one of the code lines if it is desired, to the time that is possible to heighten examples that by their dimensions would fall outside any program with educative aims.

Basic formulation of the discrete element formulation using spherical or cylindrical particles was first proposed by Cundall and Strack. Similar formulation has been developed in CIMNE and implemented in the explicit dynamic discrete/finite element code DEMPack.

The code DEMPack has a lot of original features like modelling of tool wear in rock cutting, thermomechanical coupling and other capabilities not present in commercial discrete element codes.

Impact is a Finite Element Code which is based on an Explicit Time stepping algorithm. These kind of codes are used to simulate dynamic phenomenons such as car crashes and similar, usually involving large deformations.

Explicit/Impicit Finite Element Program with linear/nonlinear, elastic/hyperelastic/hypoelastic/plastic/visco, contact,thermal, fluid capabilities. h/p refinements. Parallel/Distributed solvers available. No shell elements but has 2D beams, trusses.

Kratos is a free multi-physic Finite Element C++ open source code. One of the main topics in engineering nowadays is the combination of different analysis (thermal, fluid dynamic, structural) with optimising methods in one global software package with just one user interface and, even more, the possibility to extend the implemented solution to new problems.

The Getfem++ project focuses on the development of a generic and efficient C++ library for finite element methods elementary computations. The goal is to provide a library allowing the computation of any elementary matrix (even for mixed finite element methods) on the largest class of methods and elements, and for arbitrary dimension (i.e. not only 2D and 3D problems).

Elmer is an open-source computational tool for multi-physics problems. It has been developed in collaboration with Finnish universities, research laboratories and industry.
Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics and heat transfer. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).

ERMES (Electric Regularized Maxwell Equations with Singularities) is a finite element (FEM) code in frequency domain. It is the C++ implementation of a FEM formulation based on the regularized Maxwell equations. It is able to calculate electromagnetic fields for several applications: microwave engineering, antenna design, eddy currents, electromagnetic metal forming. ERMES results have been collated with experimental measurements and also with different numerical methods (MoM, FDTD…). ERMES has a user-friendly interface based on GiD, which is used as pre- and post- processor. Versions for Windows XP 32-bits and Windows XP 64-bits are available.
