!FEMS_App/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Finite Element Material Simulator
By Michael Attenborough

FEMS simulates objects in the real world by taking a script file describing a scene, and creating animations which can then be played back.

This disc contains the latest version of FEMS, version 2.30, as well as a lot more example scripts for compilation.

The file FEMSdoc2�3 contains detailed instructions on the script language used by the new version of FEMS, and Changes2�3 details the new features of version 2.30.

For more information, see the article on page 93 in the magazine.
