Elmer is described as 'Open source multiphysical simulation software mainly developed by CSC - IT Center for Science (CSC). Elmer development was started 1995 in collaboration with Finnish Universities, research institutes and industry' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to Elmer for Windows, Linux, Mac and MATLAB. The best Elmer alternative is COMSOL Multiphysics. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try FEATool Multiphysics or Calculix. Other great apps like Elmer are OpenFOAM, Code_Saturne, Code_Aster and KRATOS Multiphysics.
