Does anyone have good tools to recommend for doing FEM/FEA in Matlab? Preferably open source, as it is for academic use. However, I suspect my needs are quite demanding, I expect to have complex but single material / single object meshes. What is possible to do on open codes, and what are the best (value) propriatary solutions available?

Also maybe a little late but for future reference the FEATool Multiphysics FEM toolbox support 3D structural mechanics simulations for linear elastic materials. As for usability you can either use the Matlab GUI or develop/model using m-file scripts calling the FEATool functions just as you would usual Matlab function calls.

Might be too late but this could be an option https://www.mpmsim.com/
Pre and post processed files can be opened using load with a -mat flag. Scripting tool accepts MATLAB language.

Another late answer : for open source FEM in Matlab you can see http://support.sdtools.com/gf/project/openfem/

Have you considered the PDE Toolbox?

Does PDE structural Toolbox allows to perform also the Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis, besides the computation of resonance frequency and the mode shapes?
