It seems to me Elmer is the easiest to use freeware Finite Element Analysis package out there. I would think it would have a decent user base.
For example, it's relatively straightforward to go from CAD to Results with only free, GUI driven tools,in Windows, including Elmer. Below see the article I wrote about it: Mihai Pruna's Interoperability Page

Greetings Mihai,
On the topic of creating a new forum, here's a list of quotes and links to threads on this particular topic A long time ago Peter wrote this: Quote:
And from yet another more recent thread: Quote:
Personally, I find it more convenient to use the CFD-Online forums, because I still haven't mastered the nuances of using mailing lists (very annoying to accidentally answer with the subject of a "Digest" of the mailing list, instead of the correct email subject been there, done that). Then there is the occasional fact that application's own forum might not be very oriented towards CFD, which leaves a person feeling a bit like an ocean fish in a river... doomed without the salt On the other hand, there is the Exa forum: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/exa/ - which is... uhm... completely empty at this point in time Best regards, Bruno |

yes, i agree that a forum is much easier to use than a mailing list and would gain more traction.
