Extensive upgrade extends analysis system and delivers ALE meshes

FlexPDE 5 from PDE Solutions (Antioch, CA) is an extensive rewrite of the FlexPDE application and includes Arbitrary Lagrange/Eulerian (ALE) moving meshes and optional 1D geometry among other improvements.

FlexPDE 5 from PDE Solutions.

Version 5 allows you to type in your partial differential equations, add a description of the problem domain, and instantly convert this problem specification into a sophisticated finite element model. The program includes automatic mesh construction, unlimited equation complexity, an unlimited number of simultaneous equations, a nonlinear equation solver, dynamic timestep control, export to TecPlot or VisIt for visualizations and more.

FlexPDE is a self-contained processing system that analyzes your problem description; symbolically forms Galerkin finite element integrals, derivatives, and dependencies; builds a coupling matrix and solves it; and plots the results. It requires no additional software, nor do you have to buy modules to address new fields of study.
