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. -

CloudCompare
CloudCompare main repository
CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud (and triangular mesh) processing software. It was originally designed to perform comparison between two 3D points clouds (such as the ones obtained with a laser scanner) or between a point cloud and a triangular mesh. It relies on an octree structure that is highly optimized for this particular use-case. It was also meant to deal with huge point clouds (typically more than 10 million points, and up to 120 million with 2 GB of memory). -

Automatic Drawing Generation
A canvas library for generating technical drawings
The ADG library (Automatic Drawing Generation) is a set of functions focused on automating the drawing of mechanical parts. It is not a CAD system but a GObject-based library where a custom application can put common CAD entities such as paths, hatches and dimensions, to automatically create technical drawings. A demo application is provided in order to show the capabilities of the canvas. Although it is possible to interact with the library directly in C (that is what the adg-demo program is doing), the canvas is expected to be used from higher level languages, much in the same way as what done in the GNOME stack. Lua bindings based on LGI are already provided out of the box. The adg-lua project, downloadable from the "Files" section, provides Lua programs and demos that leverages these bindings. -

jEPlus - Parametrics for E+ and TRNSYS
An EnergyPlus shell for parametric studies and more ...
Parametric analysis is often needed for exploring design options, especially when a global optimization method is not available, or the optimization result is in doubt. Parametric analysis can also be applied to all design variables simultaneously, which forms an exhaustive search that, providing that the search grid is fine enough, will guarantee a global optimum solution. In order to perform complex parametric analyses on multiple parameters with more than a handful of alternative values each, a tool to generate commands for the simulation model to run, and to collect results afterwards will be needed. jEPlus has been developed as such a parametric tool for EnergyPlus. To see jEPlus in action, check out this video: http://youtu.be/jBA7Q7npNK4 The source code of the jEPlus project is now hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/jeplus/jEPlus/ -

The 1-dimensional gas-dynamics code. More information in http://www.openwam.com 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 the gas properties are uniform in the entire element. Finally, non dimensional models are used to solve connections between 1D and 0D elements. Thanks to more than 20 years, more than 10 PhD Thesis and many research projects and publications, CMT-Motores Térmicos has developed an own 1D gasdynamic tool called OpenWAMTM which gathers an important know-how on air management, compressible flow, turbocharging, chemical species tracking, numerical analysis and many other aspects of engine modeling.

Lima VVA
Simple Road Design and Earthworks
Lima VVA is a lightweight Windows application for road design and earthwork calculation. It is suitable for small to medium projects, where ease-of-use, low cost and quick results are paramount. It lets the user design the road interactively, while the geometry and earthwork quantities are automatically calculated in the background. By manipulating the construction parameters, other earthworks can be calculated, such as ditches, embankments, land fills, building sites — in short, anything suitable for the cross-section method. The program produces high quality drawings, reports, and construction data for the design. These results can be exported to other systems such as office, CAD and GIS software, surveying equipment, and systems for automated machine control. -
