Summary: Definitively a workhorse for those involved in FEA.
Comment: If you are interested in programming FEA, THIS is the book you have to buy, without any esitation. Non doubt about it. It will teach you how to code FE solvers (I should have bought it two years ago...), how to set up the element stiffenss matrices and so on.
Actually it is oriented toward FORTRAN90. Well, 90% engineering software are written in FORTRAN, anyway it is a minor problem: one can still easily figure out the algorithm from the FORTRAN code. Once you know the algorithm, coding in ANY language you know is easy...I've been programming FORTRAN 90 FEM codes for two years, and I think this book is a must, even as a desktop reference.

Summary: A Very Best Book for FE begineers
Comment: I believe the 3rd Ed has definitely enhance the purpose of this
celebrate Prog the FEM book by Smith & Griffiths. Up to date, besides the books by Owen & Hinton, this is one of the very best book for begineers in FEM in the "sea" of finite element textbook. In fact, the most powerful about this book is the programs that came with it. Buy it and you'll not regret it.

Summary: best book on programming FEM available in the literature
Comment: This book assumes that the reader already knows the
theory behind the finite element method.
The explanations of the code are limited, but with careful
study, the code is powerfull,
concise and portable. This is by far
the best book available in the open literature for
programming the finite element method. The reader with
background in FEM theory, will find this book extremely
useful, and the code very readable.
