AI Thread Summary
Native Linux alternatives to Solidworks include VariCAD, which is highlighted as a parametric CAD option. Additionally, while high-end software like CATIA and NX may run on Unix, they come with prohibitively high costs. FreeCAD is also mentioned as a promising option for CAD simulation on Linux. The discussion emphasizes the need for affordable and functional CAD tools available for Linux users. Overall, there are several viable alternatives, but options may vary in terms of features and pricing.

I think a few of the ultra high end (catia, NX etc) are also available on Unix but they have 6figure prices.
 
Not finished yet but looks promising...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
