Commercial Engineering Applications For Linux

[cb951303]

This is a list of industrial-grade (known/accepted by companies) commercial engineering applications for linux.
These are the ones that I know that they work in Linux. If I'm missing something please tell me so that I can add.

Data Acquisition / Analyse

• LabVIEW

Numerical Analysis

• Maple
• Matlab
• Mathematica

CAD

• Unigraphics NX
• Eagle
• PTC Pro/Engineer (Discontinued)

Simulation / Engineering Analysis

• Abaqus
• Star-CD
• Comsol Multiphysics
• MSC Software
  Nastran
  Adams
  Patran
• Ansys Workbench
  Multiphysics
  Structural Mechanics
  Fluid Dynamics
  Explicit Dynamics
  Electromagnetics

Less Known / Good Quality Products

• Varicad: This is a cheap mechanical CAD application with 2D/3D capabilities that supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF formats. It's very stable, small in size and works really fast compared to the big brothers such as SolidWorks, UGS NX etc. Perfect for small-to-medium sized companies.

Simulation (FEM): Comsol Multiphysics, previously known as FEMLAB as a plugin fro Matlab.

PTC Pro/Engineer Wildfire 2 and 3 are still available for Linux. I'm currently using Wildfire 2 on my Ubuntu box for contract work.

added. it's a shame they stopped supporting linux. I would prefer it over UGS NX.

LabVIEW.

Updated. I once used it back in school for MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis) course. It's a great product.

Yeah... Except the 'code' always becomes a total mess if you write a larger project.

Added, to the "well known" list but I actually don't know this product. Do any big companies use this CFD?
