Not sure if this meets the bill, but I can't resist the
opportunity to plug open-source scientific software --
there is a free finite-element package available from
the US government's standards lab, NIST.
It's called Object-Oriented Finite-elements, or OOF.
It's primarily intended to model the behavior of
systems with fairly complex geometries, for a materials-science
audience, but it's a pretty general FE system.
So far only 2D, and only rudimentary nonlinear analysis,
but perhaps worth a look for you.

Disclaimer: I am one of the principal developers of this
software, and that web server has been the topic of posts
on this very list.
