FEMFX is a multithreaded CPU library for deformable material physics, using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Solid objects are represented as a mesh of tetrahedral elements, and each element has material parameters that control stiffness, how volume changes with deformation, and stress limits where fracture or plastic (permanent) deformation occur. The model supports a wide range of materials and interactions between materials. We intend for these features to complement rather than replace traditional rigid body physics. The system is designed with the following considerations:
The library uses extensive multithreading to utilize multicore CPUs and benefit from the trend of increasing CPU core counts. It also has the following features:
