And http://www.opennovation.org/ provides a much better categorisation of engineering type packages than I did. Categories there are: Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Solvers General Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Electromagnetism and Optics Software for Phase Field simulations Boundary Element Method (BEM) Pre- and post-processing frameworks and tools Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Multi-body dynamics Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) (Ab initio and Molecular dynamics codes listed here) Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
