CALFEM for Python 3.6.10 released
CALFEM for Python is a comprehensive package designed for learning the finite element method. Originally developed in the 1980s using Fortran, CALFEM has since evolved to support MATLAB and Python. The Python version was specifically created to facilitate the course "Software Development for Technical Applications" at Structural Mechanics in Lund. Throughout the course, students gain hands-on experience in developing a complete finite element application in Python. They learn how to implement various components, including mesh generation, solver, user interface, and visualization routines.
In this blog post, I will provide a detailed explanation of the packaging and installation process for CALFEM.
