The most recent release is CUFSM Release v5.05. (Dec 29 2023).
Note this release fixes several bugs that cropped up with newer version of Matlab. In particular the main function strip.m was taken over by a reserved Matlab function and had to be renamed stripmain.m. Other changes include removing tools that were not properly working. The windows compiled version is not yet released (Dec 29 2023), but working on it.
The previous (circa 2020) stable release of CUFSM is provided here:
CUFSM version 5.04 is distributed under the MIT Open Source License
Matlab Version 5.04, 6 April 2020
This version is highly recommended or anyone that has access to matlab. The amount of code is small, all of the code is modifiable by the user, and the stability is the greatest. Developed on Mac OS 10.15.4, Matlab 2020a.
Mac OS Version 5.04, 6 April 2020
This version was compiled with Matlab version 2020a and Mac OS version 10.15.4. Although CUFSM is a small program it requires the Matlab runtime engine which is large. The runtime engine will download during the installation. Be patient when you first run CUFSM from your Applications folder as the Matlab engine must start before CUFSM can run. History shows that compiled versions are only stable for a relatively short time on the Mac OS as OS updates often break older versions.
Windows PC Version 5.04, 6 April 2020
This version was compiled with Matlab version 2020a and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Version 1607 and should work with Desktop Windows 10. Although CUFSM is a small program it requires the Matlab runtime engine which is large. The runtime engine will download during the installation. Be patient when you first run CUFSM.
Release Notes
Version 5.04 fixes bugs related to discrete springs, bugs related to stress and cross-section property generation for closed and multi-cell sections, and numerous bugs related to using the Matlab compiler under the latest version of Matlab and both the Mac and Windows OS’s.
