Good books for Writing FE Code using C++, Fortran, or MATLAB?
Good books for Writing FE Code using C++, Fortran, or MATLAB?
(OP)
I was hoping to start writing some very basic FE code to solve simple structural problems. I would not consider myself a programmer and only know C++, Fortran, and MATLAB. This will be difficult but is something that I have a lot of interest in. Does anyone know any good books that address writing FE programs using any of these languages? Thanks.

We did in our FEA class in college, the course website is still up , check out the homework problems and solutions which has the matlab code here: http://courses.engr.illinois.edu/AE420/Homework/ho...

You don't have to be an FE developer to be a good FE modeler. There are a LOT of things you can do with clever modeling tricks. But, of course, if you know there is no way you can model a fancy boundary condition, material or, say, the degrees of freedom provided in typical software codes isn't sufficient, then yes, you need to understand linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (and a little bit of continuum mechanics).

(without the homework.html at the end) you can see all the files there, the links in the .html file are wrong you should be able to get most of the file from the directory listing.

Still no reply about the materials in (http://courses.engr.illinois.edu/AE420/Homework/ or http://courses.engr.illinois.edu/ME471/ ) web sites. The web sites can not be reached. Any help would be appreciated.

This book is excellent and they have a Python version of their code available (pyFEM). You can get this up and running pretty quickly, then just feed it nodes, elements, constraints, and loads.

The fenics project has a great community of grad students and researchers. It is a really robust solver, but it is pretty well known as one of the most complicated Python libraries to set up. This might be a bit more than you need.
