Ganesh,
Octave is a very good option, opensource and easy to understand. It is worthy to spend some time with it
You can also use Python, a very powerful programming environment (and you will learn to do many other things with it). I recommend you installing not the latest version, but 2.7 (it has more available resources).
Once you are familiar with Python (which can take you less than one week), you can start to use different libraries, like Matplotlib, that will let you know the same as Matlab, or even more.
Just Google for "Python vs Matlab" and terms like that. You will have many opensource and free options at your hand.
Best of luck,
Jorge

Hello everybody,
I am a student of geology from Nepal. I am searching easy and cheap software package for practice. Can anyone suggest me which is the best software package for geodynamic numerical modeling?
Can anybody help me to get free Matlab or ANSYS software packages for practice? I am glad to get your idea.
Thank you!
Ganesh
