Code check

Many FEM programs include built in code check functionality, but not all do.

If the FEM program provides code check, there is often a need for stand-alone software to perform independent arbitrary verification.

If the FEM program does not include code check functionality, stand-alone software shall be used for design and verification purposes.

There are many commercial stand-alone programs for code check.

Below is a list of non-commercial stand-alone programs for code check. All programs originate from former designers at VBk.
