Overview

The TFEL project provides:

mfront: a code generator for material properties, mechanical behaviours and simple models.
mtest: a simple mechanical solver able to simulate:
- the behaviour of a single point
- the behaviour of a pipe
TFEL/Math: a set of classes used in mechanical implementations of mechanical behaviours and various algorithms. Mechanical operations are handled using expression templates.
TFEL/Material: classes used by mechanical behaviours
TFEL/Utilities: various classes, including the CxxTokenizer class.
TFEL/Metaprogramming: a set of classes to ease metaprogramming.
TFEL/Typetraits: a set of classes providing information on types
TFEL/System: intefaces to system specific operations on file and threads and processes

History

Versions prior to 0.1 were developed by T. Helfer as an independent project.
Starting with version 1.0, TFEL was developed as a sub-project of the PLEIADES platform.
Versions higher than 2.0 are open-source.

TFEL/MFront licence

TFEL version prior to 0.1 were released under both the LGPL and the CECILL-B licences. A copy of those licences are included in the distributions of TFEL.

TFEL versions 1.x were developped by CEA within the PLEIADES project. Since svn revision 584, TFEL was part of the PLEIADES projet.

Starting from versions 2.x, TFEL has been publicly released under either the GPL or the CECILL-A licence. A copy of thoses licences are delivered with the sources of TFEL. CEA or EDF may also distribute this project under specific licensing conditions.
