FEATool Multiphysics - Physics Modeling and Simulation Made Easy

FEATool Multiphysics is a fully integrated MATLAB FEM modeling and engineering simulation environment, featuring built-in CAD and geometry tools, preprocessing and grid generation, solvers, and postprocessing and visualization.

Easy to use GUI, Command Line Interface, and m-script Files

Work with FEATool in three different ways:

• The graphical user interface GUI allows access to all the functionality such as grid generation, multiphysics coupling, FEM assembly, solvers, and postprocessing in a very efficient and easy to use way.

• All FEATool functionality also works on the MATLAB command line interface CLI. This allows access to all the power and functionality of MATLAB commands and toolboxes for even more possibilities.

• FEATool also supports recording the GUI modeling process which then can be saved and exported as MATLAB model m-script files. This is a great way to see and learn how to model with script files which is very useful and convenient to create parametric studies and simulation runs.

Predefined Multiphysics Modes

Several predefined physics modes are available which easily can be combined to set up of different multiphysics simulation problems including fluid flow (computational fluid dynamics CFD), heat transfer, structural stresses, electrostatics, reaction and transport of mass and chemical species. Moreover, users can also specify their own custom equations and physics modes.

Documented and Full MATLAB FEM Function Library

FEATool is completely written in MATLAB m-script source code, and is fully documented with over 85 model examples and tutorials. Moreover, the MATLAB FEM function library is fully documented, open, and designed to be easy to use. This approach makes FEATool extensible, adaptable, and customizable to each users needs.

Toolbox Features

• Full integration with CFD solver OpenFOAM and FEniCS.
• Geometry modeling in 1D, 2D, and 3D.
• Automatic unstructured grid generation on complex geometries with triangular and tetrahedral cells.
• Linear, triangular/tetrahedral, and quadrilateral/hexahedral cells with several constant, 1st-5th order conforming and non-conforming FEM basis functions.
• Stationary and time-dependent linear and non-linear solvers.
• Built-in postprocessing and visualization including boundary and subdomain integration, and also sharing data on-line with Plotly.
• Support for external solvers, grid generation (with for example Triangle) and postprocessing tools directly callable from the GUI.
