The MODULEF finite element library is an extensive finite element system developed under the leadership of the French Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (I.N.R.I.A.). Through the Club MODULEF academic and industrial researchers from all over the world have benefited from and contributed to the library. Since 1999 MODULEF has been free software.

1994 Course on MODULEF at Penn State

From July 11 through July 15, 1994 Penn State hosted a course on the MODULEF finite element library, for the second time. The 5 day course consisted of lectures by several of the leading MODULEF developers as well as hands-on training sessions. It treated the design concepts behind the code, the use of the library both through the interactive drivers and a calling program, and the extension of the library through the addition of new modules. A variety of course materials are available online.


The MODULEF software and more information, including complete documentation, is available on the MODULEF web site at I.N.R.I.A.
