What are free solid modeling modeling programs?
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around identifying free solid modeling programs, specifically in the context of 3-D CAD drawings and potentially FEA analysis. Participants seek to find alternatives to well-known software like Inventor, Solidworks, and Solidedge.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- Participants inquire about free solid modeling programs, with some specifying interest in both 3-D CAD and FEA analysis.
- Some participants mention well-known software such as Inventor, Inventor Fusion, Solidworks, and Solidedge as benchmarks for comparison.
- A participant references a Wikipedia page that includes a comparison of similar packages, noting that several may be free but expressing uncertainty about their feature sets.
- One participant confirms they have not seen the referenced comparison table.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion remains unresolved, with no consensus on specific free solid modeling programs or their features.

Do you mean just for 3-D CAD drawings, or for FEA analysis too?mech-eng said:

The first "See Also" link at the wikipedia page takes you to a comparison of similar packages. Several appear to be free, but I don't know if they have the features you want. Had you seen that table before?mech-eng said:
