Calculix
With CalculiX finite element models can be built, calculated, and post-processed. The pre-and post-processor is an interactive 3D tool using the OpenGL API. The solver is able to do linear and non-linear calculations. Static, dynamic, and thermal solutions are available. Because the solver makes use of the abaqus input format it is possible to use commercial pre-processors as well. In turn the pre-processor can write mesh-related data for nastran, abaqus, ansys, code-aster, and for the free-cfd codes dolfyn, duns, ISAAC and OpenFOAM. A simple step reader is included. In addition, external CAD interfaces are available. The program is designed to run on Unix platforms like Linux and Irix computers but also on MS Windows.

NCSIMUL 4CAM
All-in-one NC programming. NCSIMUL 4CAM is the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS module that complements existing CAMs to simplify NC programming and increase the flexibility of CNC machines. It allows you to change machines on the fly without new CAM programming. From the main CAMs (CATIA, NX, CREO, TOPSOLIDCAM, MASTERCAM, etc.) or existing NC programs (ISO format), NCSIMUL 4CAM directly generates, without external post-processor, native NC programs, verified and optimized taking into account the physical means of the workshop (tools, cutting conditions, kinematics, machine controllers, etc.) Automatic extraction of trajectories from APT / ISO files and generation of the NC program. One-click machine change and on-the-fly generation of a new NC program without errors. Use of existing NC programs to optimize the machining process by simple copy / paste. Elimination of external post-processor thanks to integrated NC processor. Feedback of changes in the machining process.

CAMplete TruePath
Have you ever wondered why your tool paths look great in your CAM System but not on your milling machine? This is no longer something you have to consider, because with CAMplete TruePath the answer is clear. CAMplete TruePath bridges the gap between your CAM systems and your 5-axis machines. It provides everything needed to post process, verify and simulate 5-Axis tool paths in a 3D environment. CAMplete TruePath is an easy-to-use application that takes you from your CAM System to your machine efficiently and safely. Using toolpath data from all industry leading CAM Systems, TruePath’s customizable post-processor allows you to output your NC programs the way you need, with no on-machine editing required. 5-axis simulation, visualization and verification tools give you the confidence of knowing how your machine will behave before you run a single line of G-code. CAMplete works closely with CAM companies, their applications engineers and end users to ensure compatibility.

CAD6industrie
CAD6industrie is the comprehensive 2D/3D CAD/CAM solution for industrial use. In addition to to the full range of functions of CAD6studio, including SMART2D Technology, it also contains a CAM plug-in and a universal, script-based post-processor for the flexible and efficient generation of CNC data for machine controllers.
The CAM plug-in supports the following machining procedures: milling, drilling, turning, water jet cutting, laser cutting, as well as cutting, plotting, and positioning.
Commands like milling cutter compensation, pocket milling, milling order control, milling time calculation and a graphical 3D preview let you create drawings that are directly milled later. Extensive tool and machine settings, plus output of custom commands (such as cycles or sub-programs) by means of symbols, give you the complete control over what the post-processors finally output to the machine.
All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.
