FreeCAD
a parametric 3D CAD modeler
This is an official mirror of FreeCAD. Code and release files are primarily hosted on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD and mirrored here. FreeCAD is a general purpose feature-based, parametric 3D modeler for CAD, MCAD, CAx, CAE and PLM, aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits a wider range of uses in engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. It is 100% Open Source and extremely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization. FreeCAD is based on OpenCasCade, a powerful geometry kernel, features an Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model provided by the Coin 3D library, and a broad Python API. The interface is built with Qt. FreeCAD runs exactly the same way on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms. -

wirecutter plugin for inkscape
This plugin exports G-Code for a wirecutter
The "wirecutter" plugin for inkscape is a plugin to generate g-Code for a 2D wirecutter with a turning table. You can either draw one open path which is the path which the machine will cut or you can draw some closed paths. These closed paths (e.g. Letters) must be connected because the cutter cannot leave the raw material like a milling machine. The Plugin helps you to create these connectors. If you have a wirecutter with a turning table you can create multiple "cuts" for different positions of the turning table. This software is not really tested and is still in development. -

Sezioni
Python tool for section property evaluation and stress calculation
This software is a basic tool for section property evaluation and stress calculation, written in python. The section can be imported or input by points and then can be modified moved, rotated etc.. Area and section inertia can be exported. Loads can be applied (multiple load cases can be imported) and the related stresses are calculated by mean of De Saint Venant formulas. Results are plot with selectable color maps. Point results are listed and may be exported. Section can be also input in Nastran style and then exported to a .bdf format file. -

FAST Simulations
An Open source Analysis and SImulation Toolbox for Fuel Cells
FAST is an Analysis and Simulation Toolbox (FAST) for Fuel Cells (FC) FAST-FC is the doctorate work of David B. Harvey and was developed with support from the U.S. DOE, Ballard, and Queen's University. Derivative works of FAST-FC include FC-APOLLO which is a forked branch of this project intended to capture the code state at the exit of the funded DOE project. FAST-FC is the open and active community branch. FAST-FC is developed and maintained by the original creator and developer, David B. Harvey. Features of FAST-fc include transport of gases and liquids, multi-step reaction kinetics, transient and steady state operation for performance and durability, and scalable dimensionality from 1D - 3D domains. Future development work is on-going in FAST-fc and our strategic development schedule includes membrane degradation, improved liquid water transport models through the application of pore networks, and extension to stack-level simulation.
