Numerical Physics Simulations
Discussions center on software tools, numerical algorithms, and methods like finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Runge-Kutta integration, and solvers such as OpenFOAM and FEniCS for physics-based simulations.

I was hoping this was a modelling software with solvers for electro/thermo/aero dynamics, etc. What is this solving?
Thank you for the detailed reply. Do you use OpenFOAM or nastran?
isnt MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape already doing this at much finer detail?
What kinds of numerical algorithms are used for this? e.g. Monte Carlo or Finite Element Analysis?
Have a look at FEniCs to start with.
Make simulators. Anything. Finite elements, diffusionssoon enough you'll learn about gradients, curls, and how to implement themOh, and play kerbal space programs
OpenFOAM might work for this purpose.
I think it's (more like?) an analog finite element solver driven by a microcomputer.
Don't really know how this ended up on the front page now, but the overall "idea" that I have yet to find anyone else understand and believe in (even my old prof and colleagues don't seem to "get it"), is that: wouldn't it be great if there was a unified, ideally simple, interface from which you could just select any solver by the click of a button, whether you wanted to use OpenFOAM, FEniCS, or maybe even Ansys, etc. Then you could set up your simulation model
Lots of numerical computations and simulations.
