It is intended to give you powerful Matlab-like capabilities when working with finite element problems described by standard \fIfelt\fR(4fe) problem description files. It allows you to: define new element types quickly and easily; prototype new analysis algorithms; massage the results from existing analyses in new and innovative ways. .SH AUTHOR \fIBurlap\fR was developed by Jason I. Gobat (jgobat@mit.edu) and Darren C. Atkinson (atkinson@ucsd.edu). .SH SEE ALSO corduroy(1fe), velvet(1fe), felt(4fe).
