I don't know the FEM3D package,  I think FEM3D is another package, but I 
quickly searched on the web and found no home page...
If someone have some details?

Well if you are running MS-Windows or MacOS-X, you just need to download the 
binary file here
        http://www.freefem.org/ff3d/binaries.html
Since ff3d has no graphical interface yet, to use it, open a terminal 
('command' under windows) and execute
        ff3d anexample.ff

To visualize the solution you'll probably need MEdit:

If you need to generate meshes (ie you do not want to use the fictitious 
domain approach), download a mesher:
        http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/  (for instance)

I hope this answers your question
