Impact Finite Element Alternatives

Impact Finite Element is described as 'Impact is an explicit Finite Element Program Suite which simulates dynamic impact events. It has a range of elements, contact handling and different material laws. Models can be created, solved and analyzed with the included pre- and postprocessor' and is an app. There are six alternatives to Impact Finite Element for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Snapcraft apps. The best Impact Finite Element alternative is FreeCAD, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Impact Finite Element are COMSOL Multiphysics, Elmer, Calculix and ANSYS Workbench.
