    Next generation FEniCS problem solving environment

    If you're ok with coding, fenics is a solid place to start. Also if you're comfortable with coding, openfoam is FVM, rather than FEM, but it can handle solidmechanics.

  • OpenFOAM-dev

    OpenFOAM Foundation development repository

    There are two versions of openfoam, one closed source (which is the one I linked to in my original comment, my apologies about that) and the open source version. But what you're describing makes it sound like fenics might be your best option.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
