The name CALFEM is an abbreviation of ”Computer Aided Learning of the Finite Element Method”. The program can be used for different types of structural mechanics problems and field problems. CALFEM, the program and its built-in philosophy have been developed at the Division of Structural Mechanics starting in the late 70’s. Many coworkers, former and present, have been engaged in the development at different stages, of whom we might mention Per-Erik Austrell H˚akan Carlsson Ola Dahlblom Jonas Lindemann Anders Olsson Karl-Gunnar Olsson Kent Persson Anders Peterson Hans Petersson Matti Ristinmaa G¨oran Sandberg The present release of CALFEM, as a toolbox to MATLAB, represents the latest develop- ment of CALFEM. The functions for finite element applications are all MATLAB functions (M-files) as described in the MATLAB manual. We believe that this environment increases the versatility and handling of the program and, above all, the ease of teaching the finite element method.
