Femlab: an easy-to-use FEM packages
We got a 7-days trial license for Femlab last week. I started to evaluate it today. The result was pretty impressive.
It took me about an hour to install and an hour to finish its mini-course. The current version (3.3) has much improvement on its usability than the previous version (like 2.0) that I have evaluated. An unified IDE is used from the very beginging (The geometry modeling) to the plotting on the results. The only thing you need to worry about when using Femlab is your model itself and nothing on the mathematical details, which may worries a lot of scientists. The finite element solver is surprisingly fast even on my crappy macbook. The only thing I found inconvenient is its drawing tool which is too simple and too primitive.
Overall, Femlab is a very good package.
