GHDL
VHDL 2008/93/87 simulator
This directory contains the sources of GHDL, the open-source analyzer, compiler, simulator and (experimental) synthesizer for VHDL, a Hardware Description Language (HDL). GHDL is not an interpreter: it allows you to analyze and elaborate sources for generating machine code from your design. Native program execution is the only way for high-speed simulation. Full support for the 1987, 1993, 2002 versions of the IEEE 1076 VHDL standard, and partial for the 2008 and 2019 revisions. By using a code generator (LLVM, GCC or, x86_64/i386 only, a built-in one), it is much faster than any interpreted simulator. It can handle very large designs, such as leon3/grlib. GHDL runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS; on x86, x86_64, armv6/armv7/aarch32, aarch64 and ppc64. You can freely download nightly assets, use OCI images (aka Docker/Podman containers), or try building it on your own machine. -

OpenRocket
Model-rocketry aerodynamics and trajectory simulation software
OpenRocket is a free and fully featured simulation software for designing, analyzing, and optimizing model rockets before physical construction and launch. It provides a comprehensive environment where users can assemble rocket components, visualize designs in both 2D and 3D, and simulate flight behavior using accurate aerodynamic and physics models. The software incorporates six-degree-of-freedom flight simulation, allowing it to model real-world dynamics such as stability, drag, thrust, and staging effects. Users can analyze simulation outputs like altitude, velocity, and acceleration through detailed plots, enabling iterative improvements to rocket designs. OpenRocket also supports exporting designs for manufacturing processes such as 3D printing or laser cutting, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world prototyping. -

AirSim
A simulator for drones, cars and more, built on Unreal Engine
AirSim is an open-source, cross platform simulator for drones, cars and more vehicles, built on Unreal Engine with an experimental Unity release in the works. It supports software-in-the-loop simulation with popular flight controllers such as PX4 & ArduPilot and hardware-in-loop with PX4 for physically and visually realistic simulations. It is developed as an Unreal plugin that can simply be dropped into any Unreal environment. AirSim's development is oriented towards the goal of creating a platform for AI research to experiment with deep learning, computer vision and reinforcement learning algorithms for autonomous vehicles. For this purpose, AirSim also exposes APIs to retrieve data and control vehicles in a platform independent way. AirSim is fully enabled for multiple vehicles. This capability allows you to create multiple vehicles easily and use APIs to control them. -

PICSimLab - Prog. IC Simulator Lab.
PICSimLab is a realtime emulator for PIC, Arduino, STM32, ESP32, ...
⚠️ Please note: The official distribution of the PICSimLab simulator binaries is available on github.com and SourceForge.net. Be cautious of unofficial sites, such as picsimlab.com, which do not disclose the owner. PICSimLab is a realtime emulator of development boards with MPLABX/avr-gdb debugger integration. PICSimLab supports microcontrollers from picsim, simavr, uCsim, qemu-stm32, qemu-esp32, and gpsim. PICSimLab has integration with MPLABX/Arduino IDE for programming the microcontroller's boards. As the purpose of PICSimLab is to emulate real hardware it does not have any source code editing support. For code editing and debugging the same tools used for a real board should be used with PICSimLab, such as MPLABX, Arduino IDE, or VSCode with PlatformIO. PICSimLab supports several devices (spare parts) that can be connected to the boards for simulation. Such as example LEDs and push buttons for simple outputs and inputs and some more complex ones like the ethernet shield w5500 for -
