About:
TFEL is a code generation tool designed to facilitate the implementation of material constitutive laws for numerical mechanics simulations. It provides a high-level language to describe material behavior, which is then compiled into native code for various finite element analysis platforms. This significantly reduces development time and ensures consistency and correctness across different simulation codes.
Key Features:
  • Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for material law definition
  • Automatic code generation for multiple FEA backends (Abaqus, Code_Aster, etc.)
  • Support for complex material models including thermodynamics and plasticity
  • Validation of material models against physical principles
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom material models for finite element simulations
  • Porting constitutive laws between different FEA software
  • Validating and verifying material behavior implementations
Alternatives:
  • Mfront – Mfront is a similar tool for code generation of material laws, often compared with TFEL in the context of the Code_Aster ecosystem.
