PythonCAD is a CAD package written, surprisingly enough, in Python using the PySide2 interface and python3. The PythonCAD project aims to produce a scriptable, open-source, easy to use CAD package (Cross Platforms)

FEATool Multiphysics (https://www.featool.com) is a fully integrated toolbox for computer aided engineering CAE, finite element analysis & fluid dynamics simulations. With a very easy-to-use GUI, anyone is now able to quickly set up and perform large scale dynamical and complex engineering physics simulations, with coupled fluid flow, heat transfer, structural mechanics, chemical transport, and electromagnetics effects, without having to learn complex programming. In addition to built-in CAD and pre/post-processing, automatic mesh generation, and multi-physics solvers, FEATool also seamlessly integrates the state-of-the-art OpenFOAM [1], SU2, and FEniCS CFD and FEA solvers. Moreover, native itegration with MATLAB and Python allows advanced simulation scripts and programmatic use cases such as in AI and machine learning [2].

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 four principal lines of work are: Design Analysis and Simulation Automation and Robotics Development

This software implements the equations of the catenary curves, in adimensional formulation. The theory is applicable only to elastic ropes with uniform section. Any number of hanged masses or hangers may be input. The schema may be imported and exported. The graphics of deflections and tensions are shown with reference to X coordinate, while the graphic of stretches is shown with reference to the curvilinear coordinate. The solution is found by iteration, by mean of Scipy Minimize functions of Python, version 1.10. The results may be exported to .csv or .txt files. Gui is provided with tkinter windows.

Linux TinyCad, or LiniCad, is a tiny CAD used for educational purposes. It is written in Python/Tk and its goals are to be as programmatically easy and small as possible.

Our primary goal is to create a great, full featured, 3D CAD environment for Blender for use by engineers, designers, drafters, architects, etc. based on the OpenCascade toolkit.

MaxFem is an open software package for electromagnetic simulation by using finite element methods. The package can solve problems in electrostatics, direct current, magnetostatics and eddy-currents. Since version 0.4.0, MaxFEM requires Python 3. We have moved the installers to the MaxFEM website (see below). In order to improve MaxFEM, we will require you to fill out a simple form before downloading them.

ThanCad is a 2dimensional cad, with limited 3d support and raster inclusion capability and emphasis in engineering. It is being written in Python and since it uses the Tkinter library, it is platform independent.

Buildes is an integrated development environment that assists the user in creating building information. It reads a text (session) file from which it compiles the information. It then allows the user to browse, analyze and export the resulting building knowledge. The compilation system is written in pure Python. The building components created are rendered in PythonOCC. The GUI is written using PyQt.

PyMathProg is a Python reincarnation of AMPL and GNU MathProg modeling language, implemented in pure Python, connecting to GLPK via swiglpk. Create, optimize, report, change and re-optimize your model with Python, easily integrate database, plotting, etc.

This software is a basic tool for section property evaluation and stress calculation, written in python. The section can be imported or input by points and then can be modified moved, rotated etc.. Area and section inertia can be exported. Loads can be applied (multiple load cases can be imported) and the related stresses are calculated by mean of De Saint Venant formulas. Results are plot with selectable color maps. Point results are listed and may be exported. Section can be also input in Nastran style and then exported to a .bdf format file.

The BladeDesigner package is a CAD/CAE tool providing classes for turbomachine blade design. So far it is optimized to be useful in the aerodynamic design process. It comes with a GUI but is most powerful with user defined python scripts.

finFoil is an application to help amateur surfboard fin makers foil their fins properly.

A plug-in for Abaqus FEA with empiric data for many types of materials (linear, nonlinear, ortotropic). A simple GUI for creating properties for common materials and sections for bulk and shells.

Simple CAM program for creating RS274NGC gcode from vector format files like DXF CF2 PLT. Can be used with AXIS interface from EMC project. It's early alpha stage.

The "wirecutter" plugin for inkscape is a plugin to generate g-Code for a 2D wirecutter with a turning table. You can either draw one open path which is the path which the machine will cut or you can draw some closed paths. These closed paths (e.g. Letters) must be connected because the cutter cannot leave the raw material like a milling machine. The Plugin helps you to create these connectors. If you have a wirecutter with a turning table you can create multiple "cuts" for different positions of the turning table. This software is not really tested and is still in development.
