YAFEMS, new small FEM solver using Salome MED form

Hi.

My name is Javier Marcelo; I'm a spanish civil engineer and I'd like to present YAFEMS (Yet Another Finite Element Method Solver).

YAFEMS is a small Fortran program that reads a MED mesh file produced by Salome with certain groups created into the mesh,
and with the help of an input text file (.yaf), performs a plane stress or plane strain analysis and creates results in plain text format and in MED format.

This way a complete analysis can be carried inside Salome, where a mesh file can be created, exported and read by YAFEMS with the help of a simple .yaf input file and post-processed within Salome using ParaView.

Unlike a lot of small solvers out there, I've tried to document the program with a user manual and several examples so the end user can actually use the program.

The webpage is:

sourceforge.net/projects/yafems/

Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to all!!.

Hi claws.
Thanks for testing the program.
I'm currently working in the 3D version. The code is finished and I'm going to begin with the testing phase and start killing bugs, so I hope v 0.2 will be out soon.
By the way, I love your tutorials
I'll publish the announcement when I finish v 0.2.
Cheers.

One question to claws (I couldn't find the private message function if there's one).
Can I include the piston geometry file of the Code Aster-Salome tutorial in the YAFEMS package?. My intention is comparing the results of my solver to the piston Code Aster tutorial results, describing it in the program manual and including the files in the examples of YAFEMS if you're ok with it of course.
The 3D version of the solver is finished. I'm writing a couple of tutorials.
Where can I find more 3D examples to use?. I modeled all 2D tutorials myself, but modeling a 3D complex geometry is a whole other task.
Thank you.

EDITED TO ADD:
I've just posted version 0.2. YAFEMS can now analyze a 3D model meshed using linear tetrahedrons.
Cheers.

Thank you, claws.
Version 0.2 with 3D analysis is out now in the Sourceforge page of the project.
