Hello,

I am looking for an FEM package able to integrate in to existing c++ code, in order to solve a thin plate structural problem. My questions are:

1. Are shell elements implemented?
2. If so, which property models does freeFEM have (Kirchhoff-Love, Reissner-midlin, etc.)?
3. And finally, are there any tutorials showing a basic thin structure static analysis solution?

I could not find conclusive answer by googling, and thought I would ask here before moving on, as this library does seem good.

Thanks.
