For geometric mesh generation as well a graphical interface to set up, perform and visualize physical simulations.

The BHAUTIK physical analysis toolkit for geometric mesh generation as well as a graphical interface to set up, perform and visualize physical simulation. BHAUTIK provides the tools necessary to set up and perform scientific and engineering simulations on geometric models. Problems can be two or three dimensional, using objects created in VAIDAK, SHILP, or other model creation toolkits. BHAUTIK has several finite element mesh generation options, including good bounded aspect ratio triangulations.

Meshes can be subdivided repeatedly to gain more accuracy in analysis and visualization. A material database is maintained which contains both structural and heat properties of various materials. Boundary conditions including external forces, fixed nodes, and external heat sources can be specified interactively.

Results obtained from interfacing to finite element solvers are displayed for the user.   Stress analysis of a femural implant
