The discussion focuses on the accuracy of various software packages for solving mathematical problems and simulations, particularly in the context of finite element analysis. TK Solver is highlighted as a preferred tool for mathematical problem-solving, although it is limited to Windows. There is a call for more specific inquiries regarding software packages and the types of simulation problems being addressed to facilitate better responses. Additionally, there is a critique of vague questions in the forum, emphasizing the importance of demonstrating effort in discussions.

Specifically what other software packages are you asking about? For what class of simulation problems? Please narrow your question some so that you can get reasonable answers. Thanks.

If you are talking about mathematical problems and solvers (including use of an Optimizer), I personally use TK Solver (https://www.uts.com/Products/TKSolver). Only available for Windows, though.

thanks, compared to all other finite element software?

Please stop making threads with broad questions and showing zero effort. This thread is closed. After you return from your temporary ban, please take care to show lots of effort in your future thread starts. Thank you.
 
After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...
