METAFOR is an object-oriented Finite Element code for the simulation of solids submitted to large deformations developed at the University of Liège by the Non Linear Computational Mechanics (LTAS/MN2L) team. Some of the features included in our code are:

• 2D/3D elements for large strains analysis (SRI, EAS).
• Implicit/explicit time integration (HHT, Chung Hulbert, …).
• Thermomechanical coupling (staggered or fully coupled schemes).
• Frictional contact between deformable bodies or analytical surfaces.
• Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism.
• Meshing and remeshing procedures.
• Large set of constitutive laws (thermo-elasto-visco-plastic, damage,…).
• Crack propagation (erosion method).
