Impact is an explicit Finite Element Program which simulates dynamic impact
events. It has a range of elements, contact handling and different material
laws. Models can be created and viewed with external programs or the
included postprocessor.
Icarus Verilog is a Verilog simulation and synthesis tool. It
operates as a compiler, compiling source code written in Verilog
(IEEE-1364) into some target format. For batch simulation, the
compiler can generate C++ code that is compiled and linked with
a run time library (called "vvm") then executed as a command to
run the simulation. For synthesis, the compiler generates netlists
in the desired format.
The compiler proper is intended to parse and elaborate design
descriptions written to the IEEE standard IEEE Std 1364-2000. The
standard proper is due to be release towards the middle of the
year 2000. This is a fairly large and complex standard, so it will
take some time for it to get there, but that's the goal.
Jspice3 is a circuit simulator developed to meet the needs of researchers
working with superconducting Josephson junction circuits, yet the program
has the flexibility and power to meet the needs of other technologies.
Jspice3 is an adaptation of the Berkeley Spice3f4 program, with added
features. One added feature is a built-in graphical input front end for
schematic capture. While displayed, simulations can be run and data
plotted through this graphical interface.
While not as powerful or as pretty as the Xic graphical interface, it
holds its own in functionality.
A significantly enhanced output plotting capability is provided, and
Jspice3 has enhanced script interpretation capability.
Kicad is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic
diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.
Designed and written by Jean-Pierre Charras, a researcher at LIS (Laboratoire
des Images et des Signaux) and a teacher in IUT de Saint Martin d'Heres
(France), in the field of electrical engineering and image processing.
Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:
* Eeschema: Schematic entry.
* Pcbnew: Board editor.
* Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
* Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
* Kicad: project manager.
A IC/MEMS layout editor. Features: all angle, font generator, macros,
boolean operations, design rule checker, crossplatform compatible,
supported formats:Calma GDSII, OASIS (Open Artwork System Interchange
Standard), DXF, CIF (Caltech Intermediate Form)
GnuCap is the GNU Circuit Analysis Package.
The primary component is a general purpose circuit simulator. It
performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, fourier analysis, and ac
analysis. It is fully interactive and command driven. It can also be
run in batch mode or as a server. Spice compatible models for the
MOSFET (level 1-7) and diode are included in this release.
GnuCap is not based on Spice, but some of the models have been derived
from the Berkeley models.
Unlike Spice, the engine is designed to do true mixed-mode simulation.
Most of the code is in place for future support of event driven analog
simulation, and true multi-rate simulation.
If you are tired of Spice and want a second opinion, you want to play
with the circuit and want a simulator that is interactive, you want to
study the source code and want something easier to follow than Spice,
or you are a researcher working on modeling and want automated model
generation tools to make your job easier, try GnuCap.
GPL Cver is a full 1995 P1364 Verilog standard HDL simulator. It also
implements some of the 2001 P1364 standard features including all three
PLI interfaces (tf_, acc_ and vpi_) as defined in the 2001 Language
Reference Manual (LRM).
Verilog is the name for both a language for describing electronic hardware
called a hardware description language (HDL) and the name of the program
that simulates HDL circuit descriptions to verify that described circuits
will function correctly when the are constructed. Verilog is used only for
describing digital logic circuits. Other HDLs such as Spice are used for
describing analog circuits. There is an IEEE standard named P1364 that
standardizes the Verilog HDL and the behavior of Verilog simulators.
Verilog is officially defined in the IEEE P1364 Language Reference
Manual (LRM) that can be purchased from IEEE. There are many good books
for learning that teach the Verilog HDL and/or that teach digital circuit
design using Verilog.
LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines,
lathes, 3d printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms,
hexapods, and more.
- Accepts G-code input, drives CNC machines in response.
- Active user community.
- Several different GUIs available.
- Compatible with many popular machine control hardware interfaces.
- Supports rigid tapping, cutter compensation, and many other advanced
control features.
WARNING: This port is simulation-only for now.
MeshDev is a mesh comparison software. It accepts two meshes as input and
computes the geometrical deviation between the two meshes.
It return numerical values and can optionaly generate visual results (with a
pseudo-colored mesh corresponding to the measured deviation) in OpenInventor
format.
MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing
and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help
the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D
scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting,
rendering and converting this kind of meshes.
