MATLAB Finite element skeleton code for matlab

AI Thread Summary
A user inquired about the existence of finite element skeleton source code for applications in structural analysis and gas dynamics, specifically for modeling pseudo one-dimensional compressible converging-diverging nozzles. The goal is to iterate the shape factor A(x) to achieve desired Mach numbers at various points along the nozzle path, with a potential extension to modeling two nozzles in series. Suggestions for resources included Planet Source Code and MATLAB's File Exchange, which offer relevant finite element method examples. The user expressed gratitude for the information and plans to report back on the results.

Hello,

Does anyone know if a finite element skeleton source code exists. Finite element can be used for structural memebers, gas dynamics, etc. But the over all stepping software is the same and then just input the core equations.

My application is for pseudo one dimensional compressible converging diverging nozzels. So I would have energy, momentum and continuity. I would then itterate the shape factor A(x) until I got the desired mach numbers at various locations along the path. In theory I would like to be able to model 2 converging diverging nozzels in series.

I am guessing the skeleton code exists so I would hate to spend huge amounts of time re-inventing the wheel.

Thank you,

Awesome, thank you.

I will let you know how it works.
