Overview to ELFEN

ELFEN is a 2D/3D numerical modelling package that incorporates all of the latest Finite Element (FE) and Discrete Element (DE) analysis technology to enable it to solve a wide range of problems. ELFEN is a general purpose finite element/discrete element system incorporating:

  • Graphical Pre-processing facilities for:

  • model generation with parametric design

  • processor for loading, boundary and process conditions

  • mesh generation

  • materials database

  • geometry import facilities

  • Implicit/explicit FE and DEFT analysis capabilities including:

  • Linear static

  • Linear and Non-linear buckling

  • Natural frequency

  • Transient & dynamic stress

  • Steady state & Transient heat transfer

  • Non-linear heat transfer

  • Thermo-mechanical coupled

  • Material non-linear

  • Geometric non-linear

  • Two phase

  • Linear & non-linear field

  • Contact & Impact

  • Granular Dynamics

  • Fragmentation

  • Adaptivity

  • Rigid and deformable bodies

  • Newtonian & non-newtonian fluids

  • Post processing facilities for assessment of results, including:

    • Contour display

    • Graph plotting

    • Animation

    • VR (Virtual Reality) module

Customisation of ELFEN
ELFEN has been customised for clients to either simplify user input of model set up and assessment of results or include specific models within the analysis.

Platforms
The ELFEN system will operate on most workstation and PC platforms.
