-- Make that a similar question. Anyway, I think your questions were answered in the previous thread. In short, a procesor is a pre and post processor. A solver does the actual FE analysis.

Many fem related sites I visited mention processor separate from their pre and post counterpart(Processor is separate from preprocessor and postprocessor. ) .i.e the software can be divided into preprocessor ,processor and post processor.And yes one can logically deduce that processor must be the solver, but I wanted expert opinion about it so I dared to ask the similar question once again.

OK, if processor is used seperately from pre/postprocessor then that'd refer to the solver. That's not the most common usage though. A processor or CPU might be mentioned in a different context.
