Elfen Advanced Finite Element/Discrete Element

ELFEN is a comprehensive Finite Element and Discrete Element software tool developed by Rockfield Software Ltd. It contains a wide range of features for solving multi-physics, multi-scale, highly non-linear problems for both continuum and discontinuum domains.

ELFEN comprises a pre & post processor for complete model build and results assessment, mesh generator for various element types, implicit & explicit analysis solver modules and a range of interfaces to 3rd party software.

With such flexibility and modelling power, the software has been successfully utilised in a wide range of areas;

Geotechnical

Deep level mining, rock-blasting, seismology, tunnelling & support design, quarrying and open cast mining, oil and gas resource recovery, radioactive waste storage (nuclear burial), slope stability, retaining walls, mining, spud can analysis, masonry structures.

Forming Processes

Bulk forming, sheet forming, drawing, extrusion, rolling.

Civil Engineering

Seismic structural integrity/resistance analysis, strength of masonry structures, ground water flow, performance of anchors, slope stability and retaining walls.
