Inventor! What is the only software package that xittenn is aware of?

 

What software studios are available for the purpose of real or non-real time constrained simulations in dynamics and engineering? I have seen mention of a few where biochemistry is concerned. Are there more general purpose packages available or are they for the most part highly specialized? Is this kind of software more so developed in house as opposed to purchased? Do I have to have a Unix/Linux OS to be able to use such software?

 

I have mentioned I'm making my own and have to this point thought little to nothing about what may be available. I'm a little afraid to research as I do not wish to find myself duplicating the features of other packages and having not reflected upon it myself. Still I feel it's high time I poke my nose around a bit. The thought naturally occurred to me as I was converting from mesh data to voxels and back again and thinking hmmm I wonder what they did in that picture I saw .... I think they maintained voxels post modeling and rendered with a stress value indicating texture.

 

I'm thinking like, example scenario here, if I have a pop bottle connected to a watering hose ... what will happen??? with stress value indicating textures ....

something like CATIA?

That works for me yes, Wiki even lists competitors. I have Googled this before I guess I didn't ask the right question because I didn't come up with anything relevant. I'm really bad when it comes to getting involved with the outside world and its activities

 

Ah found it Simulia is more what I was looking for ... I will have to learn this software

 

Thanks!

COMSOL comes immediately to mind. Ansys also make products that do similar things. They both use a finite element method to solve differential equations, which can model physical systems. COMSOL has a very broad range of packages it can work with. There's also more specialist things like MEEP http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Introduction which is a finite domain time domain modelling package for electromagnetism...

COMSOLs Material Library looks promising! I would like to see something that incorporates the atomic and molecular level in creating a material through dynamic simulation that maybe touched down to a quantum level ... I will have to look through these available 'packages.'

 

Thanks Klaynos

 

Like this is pretty cool .. http://www.comsol.com/products/chemical-reaction-engineering/
