Modulef

This information dates from 2001.

Modulef was originally developed at INRIA in France with input from other contributors.

Linear and nonlinear, shells and bricks, contact. Fortran. 3-D thin-shell element doesn't include mass. Nonlinear analysis only for a few element types. Last release 1999.

Since 1999 Modulef has been distributed in source form at no cost. See local copy of original documentation and documentation for nonlinear module (both restricted access).

Calling hierarchy

This information is extremely incomplete.

• elasct - basically just calls thelct
  • thelct - calculation of element matrices for both thermal and elastic problems. Does some stuff for a thermo-elastic problem (ntherc) then common stuff - calls therm1 for both thermal and elastic (and Maxwell) problems then calls either therc2 or elasc2.
    • therm1 - creates 'first' matrices of the TAE data structure by a first call to the elements in the library, for thermal, elastic & Maxwell (i.e., 'initializes characteristics of matrices')
      • mass
        • thmass - thermal
        • elmass - elastic
        • mamass - Maxwell
      • stiffness
        • thraid - thermal
        • elraid - elastic: calls routines for calculating element stiffness matrices for different element types, e.g., ercqfa
        • maraid - Maxwell
      • right-hand side (seconde membre)
        • thsecm - thermal
        • elsecm - elastic
        • masecm - Maxwell
      • loads (constraints or flux)
        • thcntr - thermal
        • elcntr - elastic
    • therc2 - for thermal problems
    • elasc2 - for elastic problems. Does something with omega using remctd? Then makes second calls to routines for different element types to actually calculate element matrices.
      • elmass
      • elraid
      • elsecm
      • elcntr

• zaldy3 - look for a table by name
  • chaint
• imaldy - prints out directory of current tables in M
