Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for studying mechanical behavior of fluids and solids. The pyLabFEA package introduces a simple version of FEA for solid mechanics and elastic-plastic materials, which is fully written in Python. Due to its simplicity, it is well-suited for teaching, and its flexibility in constitutive modeling of materials makes it a useful research tool.
