NURBS-based elastic and limit analysis of masonry arches in MATLAB
ArchNURBS is a MATLAB tool for the analysis of planar curved structures, with a particular attention to masonry arches. As in CAD softwares, the geometry of the model is defined by a NURBS representation of the structure. Indeed, the user can upload geometries imported from a CAD environment. Based on such a representation, ArchNURBS performs the elastic isogeometric finite element analysis and the collapse limit analysis of the structure. It is possible to include in the analysis the...

Modeling is an important technique for the optimization of internal combustion engines (ICE). The use of calculation models together with experimental tests is producing unquestionable successes due to the fact that both techniques complement each other.
1D wave action models simplify the engine by means of ducts, where only one dimension is considered, and volumes where mass accumulation is considered and...
Impact is an explicit Finite Element Program Suite which simulates dynamic impact events. It has a range of elements, contact handling and different material laws. Models can be created, solved and analyzed with the included pre- and postprocessor. Impact is based on an Explicit Time stepping algorithm. These kind of codes are used to simulate dynamic phenomena such as car crashes and similar, usually involving large deformations.
The developed graphical interface is based on the SKILL language which is a Lisp dialect used as a scripting language and PCell (Parameterized Cells) description language used in many EDA software suites by Cadence Design Systems.
Allows one to program fablab (factory and/or laboratory) in the same way as we program computer.
Imagine commands like: "dim screw12 as new screw" or "mold(form_piston_081212, brass)" or ''gear(3)=lasercut(steel2,"biggear.gc")".
This approach will let us program highly automated and self-deploying or even self-replicating factories.
I am more engineer than programmer and just beginner in python. So it looks like community help will be needed :)
FEDES is a Finite Element Data Exchange System for mapping finite element analysis data between different FE solvers and meshes with different element types and densities. Six commercial FE solvers are supported (ABAQUS, ANSYS, DEFORM, MARC, MORFEO, VULCAN). The FEA data outputted can be visualized with the open source program ParaView.
A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts.
Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org
Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.
A plug-in for Abaqus FEA with empiric data for many types of materials (linear, nonlinear, ortotropic). A simple GUI for creating properties for common materials and sections for bulk and shells.
VRforCAD developed in Java and Java3D API, combines two systems: Computer-aided design (CAD) system and Virtual Reality system with its special equipments for visualization and manipulation. See more at: http://www.vrforcad.org
Our primary goal is to create a great, full featured, 3D CAD environment for Blender for use by engineers, designers, drafters, architects, etc. based on the OpenCascade toolkit.
Software application, firmware and U.I. for 4-motors 3-axis milling machine, open hardware, software and mechanics. See also project in details for schematics and images on http://www.contesti.eu/opensource/xyz-dc-motor-controller
The PARSEC CEE is the primary achievement of several years of effort at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The CEE was developed to allow engineers in the Advanced Concepts Department to rapidly prototype launch vehicle and spacecraft concepts.
This software born with the purpose to help Cad software, mainly for mechanical designers that doesn’t have an easy predisposition on their software to doing the weight estimation.
IdCREATE stands for "Idea Creation, Representation & Execution Automated Tools and Engine". This is intended to be a graphical tool for 1) representing your thoughts and ideas in a mindmap-like charts and 2) implementing them as code, article text, etc
QCAD is an application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams. QCAD works on Windows, Mac OS X and many Linux and Unix Systems.
Clothes - sewing CAD for creation of models of clothes.
Based on the new concept of the automated designing of clothes with use of parametrical model. Creates a base design of model of clothes and allows to change it depending on necessity of updating.
