Hi all, I would like to know whether there are softwares for Linux that are useful for engineering students? Especially for Mechanical/Production/Electrical/Automobile Engineering?
I mean some softewares like. 1) One which can emulate a CNC machine ie. students will be able to write the program for cutting a work piece in a certain shape and dimension and see actual shape and dimensions that will come out for their program. 2) Some packages that will help them in Plant/Factory Layout design. 3) Packages that will help them in solving Problems related to Operations Research. PERT CPM etc? 4) Packages that will help them in Designing and Drawing Machine parts (like ProE, Autocad etc.) 5) Some packages that will help in inventory control. 6) packages for price forecasting, purchase. 7) Or anything pertaining to Management Topics. 8) Some packages related to robotics or robot programming. 9) Some that will aid for Time Study, Method Study etc. 10) Any other relevant packages How is the use of Linux in the Manufacturing Industry? Where are the specific areas Linux is used in the Manufacturing Industry or in other Engineering Fields. Please give me as much information as possible and references to web address as possible. This will help many of my Junior collegemates who are intrested in trying out Linux as well as give them a Free chance to learn their subjects. Any packages relating to mathematical or scientific calculations are also most welcome. If they are available in source form only then also please inform me Thankyou so much to all of you posting on ths list for the prompt replies and relevant information.
