CalculiX

Introduction

CalculiX is developed primarily by Guido Dhondt and Klaus Wittig, employees of MTU Munich. It runs under *n*x and Microsoft Windows, and is distributed under the GNU GPL licence. It uses the Abaqus file format and does linear and non-linear calculations. It consists of ccx, the solver, and cgx, the pre- and post-processor.

Use with Fad

Our Fad finite-element preprocessor can export models in Abaqus format. Currently the export works only for thin-shell (Sap type 6) elements and for tetrahedral elements (Sap type 13).

Documentation

Extensive documentation is available on the CalculiX Web site.
