Libre Mechanics it’s an Open Knowledge project created to offer a useful platform of information related with the development and research of Mechanical Engineering themes and similar fields, higly related with the use of Open Source and Software Libre tools. Here you will find a wide variety of projects, publications and scientific material available as references for developing their own projects, also guides and tutorials that allow you to take advantage of free software tools available today.
The already known 2011 version of CAELinux count with some of the best and latest applications meant to be use for analysis and simulations, some of the new features are:
Dedicated to CAE , scientific computing and mathematical modelling with emphasis on finite element simulation and computational fluid dynamics Includes the integrated 3D pre-/ post / FE solver package SALOME_MECA 2011.2 (GPL, developped by EDF, France) which represents the fusion of Salome v5.1.3 GUI and Code-Aster STA11.0 finite element solver (updated, GPL) Offers a complete solution for CFD with OpenFOAM 2.0.1 , Gerris and Code-Saturne 2.0.2 solvers Contains several 2D & 3D CAD/pre/post packages: Paraview, OpenDX, EnGrid 1.2, Elmer GUI, Netgen, Tetgen, GMSH v2.5, Salome v.6.3, Freecad 0.12, & QCad Includes other simulation softwares for multiphysics simulation: Elmer v6.2 , Calculix v2.3, Impact, MBDyn, Dynela, Fenics Offers several scientific tools like OpenModelica, GNU Octave (+ QtOctave GUI ), R & Rkward, Scilab, wxMaxima, Scipy, Latex and a full set of developpement tools / compilers.
Here a simple, yet useful CD label for this amazing tool.
