About AWS Thinkbox Stoke
Create particle simulations faster for Autodesk 3ds Max compared to competing fluid dynamics plugins. Allow artists without programming or scripting experience to easily use an extensible procedural geometry modifier. Give users access to artist-friendly channel-editing workflows similar to node-based image-compositing applications. Access-optimized geometry and particle lookup operations are not available in the Autodesk 3ds Max SDK. AWS Thinkbox Stoke simplifies and accelerates the creation of high-volume particle clouds. Enable formats, such as PRT and RealFlow BIN, and simulations from FumeFX, Particle Flow, cebas thinkingParticles, and 3ds Max Force Space Warps. Create and simulate new fields, including velocity fields, and the loading and saving of field data using industry-standard formats. Combine field data with 3ds Max subsystems, such as Particle Flow, MassFX, Hair and Fur, Materials, most renderers, and other systems.

MFiX
MFiX, or Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges, is an open source multiphase flow solver and NETL’s flagship suite of computational fluid dynamics tool for modeling reacting multiphase flows. It has become a standard for comparing, implementing, and evaluating multiphase flow constitutive models, and has been applied to a diverse range of multiphase flow devices and industrial systems. MFiX provides multiple modeling approaches, including a Two-Fluid Model, Discrete Element Model, Coarse-Grained Particle DEM, Superquadric Particle DEM, Glued-Sphere Particle DEM, Particle-in-Cell model, hybrid methods, and a single-phase solver for pure granular flows. These models can be used to simulate gasifiers, circulating fluidized bed combustors, fluidized beds, fluid catalytic crackers, chemical looping combustion systems, and other particle-fluid systems involving hydrodynamics, heat transfer, species transport, and chemical reactions.

Particleworks
Particleworks is particle-based CAE and CFD software for simulating liquid and multiphase flows using the Moving Particle Simulation method. Its mesh-less solver and intuitive interface make the simulation process simple and fast, even for complex geometries with moving parts such as transmissions, electric motors, internal combustion engines, and other industrial systems. Unlike conventional mesh-based CFD, Particleworks discretizes the fluid domain automatically with particles, eliminating complex mesh generation and making it easier to analyze free-surface flow, splashing, sloshing, spraying, mixing, lubrication, cooling, oil behavior, water interaction, and highly viscous fluids. It provides one-stop GUI operation from pre-processing through post-processing, helping engineers set up models, run simulations, visualize results, and evaluate performance in a streamlined workflow.
