If you like to do your calculations with a comfortable GUI, create constraints graphically and view the distribution of stress in postprocessing? Then the freeware Z88Aurora® with graphical user interface is the right choice.
Alternatively you can use Z88Arion® – based on the same GUI – to create an optimal part topology in a given design space and configure the part load-capable with minimum weight in terms of structural lightweight design.

You want to alter the solvers or write your own element routines? With Z88 open source you can edit the source code of Z88 as well as customize and improve it.

Or are you looking for a FEM tool to do quick & reliable calculations in meetings or on site? Our Z88 apps for Android devices could be of interest for you.

Try our Z88 versions and find the best solution for your problems. Of course at no charge – even for commercial use!
