SDC Verifier is a powerful standard checking software that works within different FEA solutions such as ANSYS, Femap, Simcenter 3D. It helps to automatically verify your model according to multiple industry standards as DIN, EN, Eurocode, FEM, AISC, Norsok, ISO, DNVGL, ABS without the need of creating any additional models or spreadsheets and generate reports.
With the unique recognition tools, structural items as beam members, plates, welds, stiffeners, panels, and joints can be found on your model and directly verified according to any specific requirements
SDC Verifier speeds up the design phase by storing the full calculation process. A recalculation after a modification requires just a single click. All calculation settings are reapplied to the new model and FEM results.
Code of the checks is completely open so you can modify the formulas of a standard or write your own custom rules.

Join an open source community that is welcoming to newcomers (e.g., BRL-CAD, Haiku OS, OSGeo, ..) and work on a little bit of code every day. It can be a simple feature, specific bug, or something new you want to achieve. Many open source groups are very welcoming to newcomers if you do the work and ask smart questions.

You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe). Source: over 1 year ago
So, uh ... Learning curve. If you want anything and everything under the sun, go with BRL-CAD. It was designed for ballistics testing and simulation, but it can do pretty much anything. The learning curve for BRL-CAD is immense. Otherwise, I recommend OpenSCAD. Source: over 1 year ago
