Civil Engineering Software
EverFE & EverStressFE are free, user-friendly 3D finite element tools for pavement analysis.
EverFE models jointed plain concrete pavements; EverStressFE models flexible asphalt pavements.
EverFE: Software for the 3D Finite Element Analysis of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements
What is EverFE?
EverFE (current version 2.26) is a user-friendly 3D finite-element analysis tool for simulating the response of jointed plain concrete pavement subjected to axle loads and environmental effects. EverFE has been used by thousands of researchers and practitioners to evaluate complex analysis and design scenarios and is also employed by faculty and students as an educational tool. EverFE has been downloaded by individuals from over 80 different countries. The Universities of Maine and Washington jointly developed EverFE with funding from the Washington and California Departments of Transportation. EverFE is available free of charge with no EULA and can be obtained via email request to the primary developer, Professor Bill Davids, at william.davids@maine.edu. EverFE runs on both Win10 and Win11 as a stand-alone package, and documentation is also made available when downloading the software.
EverStressFE: Software for the 3D Finite Element Analysis of Flexible Asphalt Concrete Pavements
What is EverStressFE?
EverStressFE is a user-friendly 3D finite-element analysis tool for simulating the response of flexible asphalt pavement to wheel loads. EverStressFE is useful for both practitioners and researchers who must quantify pavement deformations and strains in multi-layered systems subject to complex load distributions. The University of Maine developed EverStressFE with funding from the Washington State Department of Transportation. EverStressFE is available free of charge with no EULA and can be obtained via email request to the primary developer, Professor Bill Davids, at william.davids@maine.edu. EverStressFE runs on both Win10 and Win11, although it does currently require 3rd party software to be fully functional as described in the documentation that is made available when downloading the software.
