Visualization software with great functionality and easy to use GUI

The project has been around for quite some time now, so it's not just new to me but others as well! It supports various programming languages (Python or C++) with different libraries/frameworks which can be used in combination depending upon your needs. Some features are hardcoded at times making them workable only if you have access to certain software packages like Maya etc., but this could also depend upon personal preferences of user end. I've personally found that using Python + PyMEL…

Pros
  • Speed
  • Simplicity & ease
  • Supportive community members who reply quickly when asked questions about code.
  • Great support group via forum where users talk among themselves helping each another solve problems easily
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Project Chrono is an awesome tool and simulation program

I like that it was easy to install, configure (even though there are many options you can choose from) for our needs/requirements which were very simple as well! The support team has been absolutely great helping us get everything set up just how we needed them too!! There really isn't anything i dislike about this software aside of being able to use additional features in future versions if they decide to release one more time with these types or simulations but since its so new there hasn't…

Pros
  • Can run simulation quickly without much wait period.
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...

I like that it's easy to use, you don't need much coding experience or background in physics to get started with! It also has some great inbuilt tools for simulating fluid flows so no more having to write your own code from scratch - everything comes out of box now! There are ways round this but if there isn't something specific required then just go ahead using what they have provided as its all very well thought through :)I dislike how difficult it can be at times to debug issues especially…

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Lots of different features available
  • Simulation of flow and heat transfer very accurate
Cons
  • complex geometries = complex problems)
