!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.

For details on how to use the application, and how to show the demo animation on this disc, please see page 72 in the magazine.

The file FEMSdoc contains detailed instructions on the script language used by FEMS, over and above the instructions in the magazine.
