Free FEA-LISA FET, Visual FEA
(OP)
Does anyone use a free FEA package regularly?
We're a very young outfit, and the nature of our current business doesn't give much justification for more expensive alternatives. Has anyone used a free FEA package with much success?
I've been tinkering with these for a couple of days with little-to-no success. I think the software is capable and reliable, but the support of course, is terrible. I can barely get a working model together, let alone actually get an analysis out of these things. I remember LISA from friends and professors mention while I was in college, so I would expect it to be usable.
For completeness, here are some links so you can check out the software if you're unfamiliar:

Unfortunately the Scilab port is not useable, in my opinion.
