Use
Run a first model.
Install a release, start from a maintained input, then check the mesh and inspect diagnostics.
Getting started Free · open source · Python FEM
A FEM tool you can open up.
QF Solver is built so engineers, students and teams can trace a result through its assumptions, equations, implementation and evidence. See what a route can do, and where its evidence stops.

Every published route keeps its scope, evidence and limitations visible.
Why this project exists
Spend less time reconstructing solver physics.
QF Solver is an open, inspectable FEM project. Equations, assumptions, development steps, relevant scripts, test plans and recorded results are published together so users can judge whether a route fits their model and where its evidence stops.
The goal is to make reliability review more efficient, not to replace case specific engineering judgement or imply that every route is validated.
Choose a path
Start with the question you have.
Three clear entry points take you from running a model to understanding the method and checking its evidence.
Understand
Open the method.
Follow the equations from physical assumptions through implementation and the numerical route.
White box catalogueVerify
Inspect the evidence.
Read the exact model, observables, results and limits behind each published claim.

See the deformation with its result.
A TET10 cantilever deformation view tied to the same bounded bending study as the mesh convergence curve. The displayed deformation is amplified 40,800 times so its shape can be seen. This preview links to the model, convergence record, source and limitations.
