Structures and Handles From MAE 3250. An intermediate-level tutorial on structured programming in MATLAB using structures and handles in the context of finite-element analysis. It shows how you can figure out most things yourself by properly navigating the online documentation. It emphasizes developing code incrementally, testing obsessively at each stage.

redAnTS TUTORIAL #1From MAE 3250. redAnTS is a free MATLAB toolbox developed at Cornell University for performing 2D finite-element analysis. This introductory redAnTS tutorial takes you through the steps used for solving a simple solid mechanics problem: a humble rectangular block in uniaxial tension. The computational results are validated by comparing with the solution from elementary theory. (To come: a link for downloading redAnTS).
