These steps will enable you to run FERUM on your computer, assuming that you have Matlab® installed and available on it:

1. In order to be able to download FERUM 4.1, please fill out the form below  (*). The personal information collected in this form may only be used for sending information about known issues/bugs and future modifications brought to FERUM. This information is strictly confidential and in no case it will be divulged to any third party.

2. Choose a directory on your harddisk where you wish to save all FERUM files, here referred to UserDir.

3. Click on the “Download” button below to download the FERUM4.1.zip archive file and extract all the compressed files to your selected UserDir directory (extraction with pathnames).

N.B. 1   Please think to allow popup windows from IFMA website in your browser before clicking on the "Download" button.

  • Firefox: Go to "Tools > Options" on the browser menu. On the window that displays, click on "Content". Ensure that the check box next to "Block popup windows" is checked. Click on "Exceptions" and, in the window that opens, add www.ifma.fr.
  • Internet Explorer: Go to "Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings" on the browser menu and click on "Pop-up Blocker Settings". Enter www.ifma.fr in the "Address of Web site to allow" field.

N.B. 2   Sometimes the downloaded zip file appears in the back on your desktop, behind your web browser. It is rather common and it appears to be confusing for some people.

N.B. 3   For Internet Explorer users, it is sometimes required to hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the "Download" button .

4. Before you can start using the toolbox, you must add all FERUM subdirectories (aster_files, dir_simulations, etc.) to your Search Path, so that Matlab knows where to look for them. See the “Search Path” section of the Matlab help. This is done by using one of the 3 following options: a) Select “Set Path” in the “File” menu in Matlab, b) Select subdirectories in the Current Directory Browser, then right click, “Add to path”, “Selected folder and Subfolders”, c) Use the addpath.m function.

5. You now have the FERUM toolbox at your disposal. Check Getting Started for further help.
