Finite Element Analysis on iOS and Android

Quickfem, the 2D Finite Elements Analysis iOS and Android App for Engineers and Students.

For Students

Learn how finite elements and structural analysis works by starting out with simple models you can build directly on your phone or tablet.  Play around with geometry, constraints, loads, materials and results to test out the book theory.

For Engineers

Successful engineers must have a natural feel for loads paths and stress concentrations to know what is important. This critical insight is usually hard won via thousands of hours on syntax heavy, Finite Element Analysis, behemoths such as Ansys, Abacus or Patran/Nastran. With Quickfem, you have the fastest FEA modeller in the world!  Near instant feedback creates the tight iteration loops necessary for rapid discovery.

Running on your mobile device, Quickfem gives you the freedom to create and understand structural models wherever and whenever inspiration strikes.

Do it in 2D first so you know what to expect.
