 <title>Could you be more specific?</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Could you be more specific? Are you looking for an open source FEM code in MatLab? I think there are quite a few books on FEM that uses MatLab to demonstrate the basic concepts and implementations.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t remember a particular book right now, but I am sure you can google it and find some.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Here is one opensource site that might be useful:
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hello, I am a new user</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/jclub#comment-6952</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I could see that this community is a treasure for us(mechanicals), but I could not completly use it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I am in extreme need of any helping hand for my project which requires writing a program&amp;nbsp; of FEM in MATLAB using ABAQUS, how could I get it, plz give me information
&lt;/p&gt;
