femio is an application that allows you to read a Finite Element Model in one of the supported formats and provide tools and functions on the model's contents. Also, it provides the required functionality to allow the user to create tools and manipulate data. Such tools are: model statistics, model image view (screen shot), keyword removal or substitution, etc.

femio is written in the Python language, and distributed under LGPL.
