Looking for a free Multiphysics-type simulator

[hb8yh8]

comsol/ansys seem to do the job, but they are expensive

I was looking for something like houdini (cg), but with actual nodes or click and define gui that provide accurate simulation (and code, but it doesn't force you to use it, unless you don't need to do something really specific)

I've tried stuff like openfoam, but the workflow it's slow, get the model, make the config, run openfoam, put the result into paraview, and for edits, back from the start, I can't like interactively see/do changes

This thread on StackExchange provides some alternatives for you to look at:

They mention FEATool which works with Matlab and Octave. It may work with Freemat (open source alternative to the core MATLAB functionality) as well but I've never used FEATool to know.

Julia is another free alternative with MatLab like syntax and using this Julia library called ANN GridAp:
