3D Large deformations finite element MATLAB code

This MATLAB code is for three-dimensional elastic solid elements with large deformations. Both Updated Lagrangian Method and Total Lagrangian Method are available. The results can be animated. ; arbitrary input geometry, nodal loads, and material properties for each element can be defined by user.

Below is an animated video of the results for a cube under uniform vertical loading

What is Finite Element Method?

The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. It is also referred to as finite element analysis (FEA). Typical problem areas of interest include structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow, mass transport, and electromagnetic potential. The analytical solution of these problems generally require the solution to boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Read more about Finite Element Methods

What is MATLAB?

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment. A proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, Fortran and Python.
