Autodesk Inventor a student license and download is available to all students
Advisor – Vehicle power train design and simulation
PSAT - Vehicle design analysis and simulation
Cadence - Vehicle dynamics and human dynamic response. Used in AHMCT
Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics:
Xfoil – fluid dynamics and CFD plotting
**Fluent (flow solver) and Gambit (mesh generation)
**Patran/Nastran – Mesh generation, FEA
**VRAND Genesis and Visual Doc – aerospace FEA
Stanjan
Chemworks, Chemkin libraries
Compilers and Matlab (above)
Note: Pointwise GridGen and CFX have been dropped, partly out of cost considerations, and because Fluent meets similar needs.
