Software tools
We are passionate advocates for free and open-source software. We firmly believe that the open-source concept surpasses any other development model, leading to faster, more robust, and higher-quality outcomes.
OpenFoam
OpenFOAM is the leading free, open source software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), from the OpenFOAM Foundation.
FreeCAD
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.
Blender
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and video editing.
