AppendixDFinite Element Analysis UsingMATLAB ToolboxIn this section, a MATLAB3toolbox CALFEM4is introduced. This Toolbox is developedby Lund University in 1999 and can be downloaded free of charge from CALFEM provides functions that can be used for Finite elementanalysis of a variety of structures. Compared to other Finite Element programs, this tool-box has many advantages for education. Many commercial programs automatically per-form Finite Element process. Thus, the users do not understand the process of constructingelement stiffness matrices, assembling them, and applying boundary conditions.
In general, MATLAB toolboxes are stored in the toolbox folder in MATLAB instal-lation folder. In order to access the toolbox, the user must provide path information using File, Set Path . . . command from the main menu. Once the CALFEM folder location is stored in MATLAB paths, the user can access CALFEM functions anywhere. Type
