SimScale is the world’s first cloud-native SaaS engineering simulation platform, giving engineers and designers immediate access to digital prototyping early in the design stage, throughout the entire R&D cycle, and across the entire enterprise. By providing instant access to a single fluid, thermal, and structural simulation tool built on the latest cloud computing technology, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
Based on our record, LibreCAD seems to be a lot more popular than SimScale. While we know about 19 links to LibreCAD, we've tracked only 1 mention of SimScale. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
After you brush up the theory, you can take it to the next level by trying out some sample tutorials using the existing tools or any of the free tools available. (I personally prefer cloud native tools like SimScale, Onshape(for CAD design) to avoid any specific hardware requirements). Source: 10 months ago
LibreCAD, OpenSCAD (more script based and more for solids), FreeCAD. Source: 10 months ago
CAD options on Linux are more limited than windows or mac but they do exist. The industry standard for 2d CAD files is the .dxf file format. I use LibreCAD. https://librecad.org/ The UI is a little clunky and eccentric in places but it is feature complete for 2d CAD drawings. Source: about 1 year ago
You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe). Source: about 1 year ago
It seems like a low risk purchase for $1, however, there are free options available too such as https://librecad.org/ . Or see https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/117ki1c/comment/j9v0v37/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for an older Autocad clone. Beckercad 2D seems like a niche product so I would probably invest my time learning something that is more mainstream. Source: about 1 year ago
For 2d stuff I tend to use Libra cad Https://librecad.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
