Simcenter Inspire
Simcenter Inspire is a Siemens simulation-driven design platform that helps users generate, optimize, validate, and manufacture innovative parts in one environment. It brings CAE capabilities into a CAD-like workspace so designers can explore concepts, test performance, and assess manufacturability earlier in the design process. The software combines geometry modeling, generative design, manufacturing simulation, and GPU-enhanced rendering to support faster product development. Simcenter Inspire includes advanced hybrid modeling tools that allow users to work with BRep, PolyNURBS, facets, and implicit geometry. It also provides embedded solvers for structural, motion, and fluid performance exploration while reducing or automating meshing. With optimization tools for lightweighting, material efficiency, and structural refinement, Simcenter Inspire helps teams move from early design ideas to manufacturable products with greater confidence.

NeuralMould
NeuralMould is Emmi AI’s Large Engineering Model for injection molding, described as a new gold standard in AI for engineering: any geometry, any material, any injection gates, one model. It lets users select from a range of geometries and test injection, material, and gate placement parameters to simulate filling behavior in seconds, rapidly compare multiple scenarios, optimize process KPIs, and avoid frozen flow fronts. Injection molding simulation is highly complex because it involves multi-physics calculations that model transient flow of viscous plastic through thin-walled geometries under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. NeuralMould captures these phenomena across a wide range of injecting conditions and mold geometries, achieving performance comparable to traditional solvers with a fraction of the computation time. The model supports multi-material scenarios, fast prototyping, multi-gate configurations, and multiple process parameters.

SolveSpace
SOLVESPACE is a free (GPLv3) parametric 3d CAD tool. Modeling 3d parts, drawing with extrudes, revolves, helixes and Boolean (union/difference/intersection) operations. Modeling 2d parts, draw the part as a single section, and export DXF, PDF, SVG; use 3d assembly to verify fit. 3D-printed parts, export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most 3d printers. Preparing CAM data, export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine or laser cutter; or generate STEP or STL, for import into third-party CAM software for machining. Mechanism design, use the constraint solver to simulate planar or spatial linkages, with pin, ball, or slide joints. Plane and solid geometry, replace hand-solved trigonometry and spreadsheets with a live dimensioned drawing. Sketch sections using lines, rectangles, datum lines and points. Sketch circles, arcs of a circle, datum circles, cubic Bezier segments, C2 interpolating splines, and more.
