Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are open-source solvers like OpenFOAM and CalculiX accurate enough?

Yes. Both solvers are used worldwide in research and industry.
Their underlying physical models are equivalent to those used in commercial tools.

2. How secure is automation with Python?

All data remains entirely local within your company.
The workflows are transparent, controlled, and eliminate manual transfer errors between CAD and simulation.

3. What hardware do I need?

A standard engineering laptop or a typical workstation is sufficient.
Since there are no per-core licensing fees, the workflow often runs faster than commercial solutions.

4. Can design engineers use these workflows independently?

Yes. The automated workflows reduce the simulation process to simple parameter inputs.
This allows routine simulations to be shifted from the FEA/CFD department to the design team.

5. Why do the tutorials cost money if the software is free?

You are not paying for software — you are paying for time saved.
Each workflow is fully documented, tested, and ready to use immediately, without debugging or setup effort.

6. Do you provide support for custom projects?

Yes.

7. Which software do you use in your workflows?

We work exclusively with open-source software. For design, we use FreeCAD; for automation and post-processing, we rely on Python. OpenFOAM is used for CFD simulations, and CalculiX for FE analyses.
