Below are the two links to the executable files you will need to downlaod to run a hexahedral FEA model.

Both programs wre written by Candrupatla and Belegundu, "Introduction to FINITE ELEMENTS in ENGINEERING, 2nd edition."

The input file creator called  DATA.EXE is a qbasic compiled text file creator.  In this case choose the option for HEXA(1)  when entering data.  Also the authors missed the order for material data labels.  In the case of a hexehaderal problem use.
Material poperties #1 as E (Young's modulus).
Material poperties #2 as u (Poissons ratio) .
Material poperties #1 as alpha ( coeficient of thermal expansion) = 0.

Here are the links:
 

Source code will not be available since I did not write these programs and they are intended to be used by my students for instruction only.  Besides, this is not a pratical way of grid generation.
