Framework of VisualFEA

Functions of VisualFEA can be classified largely into 5 groups in relation with various stages of finite element analysis : basic user interface, preprocessing, processing, postprocessing and educational aids. The functions of each group are split into a number of sub-groups by their relationship and similarity. The framework of VisualFEA has been designed on the basis of this grouping, and the tool palette and menu commands are also arranged as such. The contents of this manual are also written largely following the framework.
