Build status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/BFE-Net/Lobby

Introduction

Brief Finite Element Dot NET (BFE.NET) is a .NET based software framework for static and linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of solids and structures. BFE.NET help you to simply take advantage of Object Oriented approach to analyze FE models. Advantage of such a framework is that user does have a very powerful control on what he is working with, and control is not limited to an UI with predefined controls.

Acknowledgement

This project is using/used these projects/files:

Features

  • Various Elements (variable node beam, column, truss, shaft, 3 node plate bending and membrane, 4 node tetrahedral)

_ Different loads types (Concentrated force or moment in BarElement body, uniform load on BarElement)

_ Calculate internal force of BarElement at any location of Element.

  • Static Linear analysis (dynamic analysis not fully implemented yet)

  • Supports LoadCase and LoadCombination approach for analysis and post process

  • Considering initial displacements (settlements)

  • Full or partial nodal restrains

  • Compatible with .NET 4.0 and higher

  • All data classes are Serializable

  • Direct and Iterative solvers (More)

  • Reasonable performance (More, More 2)

  • Good Documentation available at bfenet.readthedocs.io

Validation

This library is developed regarding "Code Reuse" so the code will be somehow complicated. There are several types of validation for FE models in this library: Since it is not possible to validate all features with a single software,

  • Unit Test (in project BriefFiniteElementNet.Tests)

  • Validating the result with other well known and open source applications:

for more information on validation please have a look at Validation.md file.

Known Issues
