FEATool Multiphysics (short for Finite Element Analysis Toolbox), is a fully integrated toolbox for modeling and simulation of coupled physics phenomena, partial differential equations (PDE), continuum mechanics and engineering problems. The toolbox aims to provide a truly easy to use and comprehensive all-in-one integrated simulation platform for all kinds of multi-physics analysis, including built-in interfaces to the OpenFOAM GUI (CFD), SU2 Code (CFD), and FEniCS GUI (FEA) solvers.
Features
- Easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Built-in geometry and CAD modeling tools (with STEP, IGES, STL CAD file support)
- Automatic grid and mesh generation
- Postprocessing and visualization (including one-click Plotly and ParaView export)
- Fully programmable and scriptable with MATLAB (including support for integration and embedding of simulation apps in custom applications and toolboxes)
Quickstart
Basic use and how to set up, model, and simulate free and forced convection, coupled fluid flow, and heat transfer in a heat exchanger is explained in the video tutorial linked below.

More tutorials and examples for various multi-physics applications can be selected and run from the File > Model Examples and Tutorials menu option in the GUI, and also as FEATool Multiphysics Quickstart Video Tutorials. The User's Guide is available online, or by selecting the corresponding option in the Help menu of the FEATool Multiphysics GUI.
