This installs AMfe in your python environment. The extracted Archive can be deleted after installation.
The Amfe package includes some fortran routines which has to be built in the development version. Thus, you will need a fortran compiler, such as gfortran to compile the fortran-sources. If you do not want to compile the fortran routines you may also use equivalent python routines which do not need to be compiled. However this is not recommended if you want to run large finite element models because the performance of fortran routines is much better.
Use:
python setup.py develop no_fortran
in step 2 with no_fortran flag, if you do not want to use fortran-routines.
The compilation of fortran extensions may cause problems on windows-platforms. Here are some hints on how to install the routines on windows:
