ISRO FEAST
FEASTSMT (Finite Element Analysis of Structures) is ISRO's structural analysis software based on Finite
Element Method (FEM) realized by Structural Engineering Entity of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre
(VSSC). The software is developed in C++ Programming Language based on Object Oriented (OO)
principles. Substructured and Multi-Threaded (SMT) implementation of the solver ensures high
performance of the software to the end users.
