I am a mechanical engineering student and I know that our school will use ANSYS as simulation tools in the fall semester. And when I talk with one engineer, I know that they will use different kinds of ANSYS tools for the same project. The engineer uses ANSYS’s tools: Mechanical, Fluent, Maxwell...

Hello everyone, I want to find better math note taking software because I am a slow writer and my handwriting is very poor. It is difficult for me to keep up with professors when they are quickly jotting down equations in class. I will take Calculus 2 next semester and I am worried about how I...

I was reading online that Connectify can be used to convert any desktop or laptop PC into a hotspot. Our PC is fitted with Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. It doesn't have an inbuilt WiFi adapter, and connects to the Internet using Ethernet. I wanted to make a hotspot using this desktop. There are...

I snapped this picture with my VIVE. It's a red dwarf. Universe Sandbox is sooo cool.

I'm currently testing the overtone spectrum of several instruments. I haven't been able to find a freeware program that's well suited to my needs. In particular, I would like to be able to pause the playback of each overtone spectrum at specific intervals in order to compare the instruments...

Couldn't figure out which category to put this in so I put it here. Today, the Product Owner stumbled across a feature that was working correctly, but should not have been. A Yes/No button was defaulting to 'Yes'. It was eventually supposed to be implemented that way, but no one was assigned...

Are there any folks here who use open source alternatives to Matlab and Mathmatica for visualization of quantum mechanics? Also, are you aware of any introductory quantum material for that tool? If not, do you think such a thing would be worthwhile for visual leaners? Why or why not? I have...

Hi all, for presentations/lectures and so on, I need to making drawings which make easier the comprehesion of the process I adopt for my research. Occasionaly, I draw flowcharts o something similar, which embed arrows, geometrical figures, plots (sometimes, I simplified a complex plots like...

I used to use Kaspersky Internet Security/Total Security, but recently Best Buy has stopped selling it for some political reason. What are other software tools that are best in protecting computers from viruses and other cyber threats? Thanks in advance

Hi all I have a lot of data, and was thinking if there exists a program that will apply a type of brute force regression tool to basically try any thinkable combination of variables and mathematical expressions to minimize the error between Y and Y_predicted. The data [(x1 vs Y) (x2 vs Y)...

For those who might need a relatively simple electronic device for a project like relay control, frequency to voltage converters, voltage to current and current to voltage converter, small signal amplifiers, signal averaging and many others using cheap op-amps, I recommend "How to Build and...

I'm looking into completing my degree online mostly due to the cost of tuition at a traditional university. The online programs I've been looking offer Computer Science while some offered Software Engineering. I was wondering which degree is the better option?

I'm a 25 y.o. software engineer working in ML research. I've been fascinated with physics since at least high school. I did not have a good time in university, and I gave up on doing a physics degree and did computer science to finish sooner (I would have dual majored). I am trying to decide if...

So what grammar checkers are good to use. I recently found www.Grammarly.com which was from a YouTube ad, I think. I Googled grammar checkers, and came up with a bunch, some claiming to be free, but I don't really want to install anything without recommendation. A long time ago in a galaxy far...

I was just wondering how many of you had heard about the Math “programming” software called “Maple” and if so, what your opinion is on it compared to like Matlab or Mathematica and the other mainstream languages? Is such a “low-key” software/language learning extensively? I personally find it...

I don't usually need help in locating software, but I'm having a heck of a time tracking down a good open-source bit of software which solves integer programming problems using arbitrary precision! If I don't find one soon, I'll need to write it myself. Which I don't mind, but it's silly to...

Hi folks, I have access to Biovia Materials Studio, but my computer is old and is not fast enough to take advantage of the software, What can I do? ANy idea?

I would like to know what causes bugs, on the software side. Bug was not at all the term used for software but over time, it has evolved into what I think is the result of carelessness, poor development and lack of knowledge. In modern computing, bugs occur in software all the time. But why does...

Hi All, I would like to learn Tableau , but AFAIK, it is not available for free beyond a trial basis. I have heard of BIRT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIRT_Project as a freeware substitute. Has anyone tried it or heard something from people who have used it? Thanks.

Hi all I'm not really sure where to post this. I just wanted to ask what software do you use, or would you recommend, for making a physics poster for an academic conference (physics)? I'd go with PowerPoint + latex plug-in because I've used that a ton before, but maybe there are better ways to...

I need help in selecting best pcb design software out of kicad, eagle and altium. I have to design pcb for my project. But I am having confusion in these software.

I'm currently at a junior college and want to major in computer science and want to be a software engineer. The issue is that I got arrested for a misdemeanor a couple of years ago and even though I didn't get prosecuted nor convicted and I got it expunged does it affect my chances of working in...

I attempted to enter a website and work in it which I had successfully done before, with my correct login name and password giving me the rights to work in the website (without limit on the number of times I entered. Oh, and the website is legit: it is a government website, not a pirate.) But...

Hi, I need to use MATLAB to do some simulations on my laptop, but I don't have a license. Is there any other software I can use, that doesn't require a license? I mainly want to generate random variables, and plot functions that include exponential integrals and Bessel functions, and such...

What are the best software solutions for language translations? Is Google Translate the most advanced one? I heard about Babylon. Is there anyone who uses it? Can they share their experience with Babylon? In the past I tried some but the sentences translated by them was wrong. I will give feed...

I'm looking for a free software I could use to simulate near field diffraction from a 2d periodic array of conductors and dielectrics placed on the surface of a dielectric slab.

I downloaded IRAF to my machine using astroconda, and everything works perfectly except the implot function when using an xgterm terminal (it kind of works with xterm, but not really). I can get it to display a plot with implot, but none of the keystroke functions work at all and I am not even...

Hi guys, I'm wanting to simulate faraday cage form, analysing mesh perforations defined by wavelengths of different electromagnetic spectra (eg. radio, microwave, UV etc). Are there any good analysis softwares which I could import a pre-made digital model with these perforations and simulate...

I am looking to try some design ideas using PMs for alternator design. I am a retired EE so I do not have corporate capital for simulation software. Does anyone know of low to medium cost simulation software that might be workable for basic flux/emf/etc calculations and modeling? Or other...

I have two questions on this topic: 1- What is the difference between free and open source software? Do both mean the same thing? 2- Some free (open source?) software is used by companies to make big money. Aren't these conflicting things?

I would like to know where it would be possible to download a 3d simulation software tha twould operate according mathematical pharameters

Hi guys, I'm wanting to test materials developed in CAD software for their radiation blocking qualities (EM Spectrum), I would ideally need to use a software where I can set the wavelength and frequency of the emitter and set up a receiver, allowing me to place different materials in the middle...

TL;DR: I seriously screwed up when I was in my undergrad physics program and ended up essentially dropping out. Several years (and 'careers') later, I ended up becoming a software engineer. I make very good pay, but feel an itch to return to science. I feel an urge to to return to school and...

Hello,, I want to know how to buy the Fortran software,? I use Fortran programming to simulate some my work for my study. Do you have any suggestion about that??

For a traditional circuit simulator, like the free and open source versions of SPICE (i.e. ngspice), it seems to me that they can technically all simulate the same kinds of circuits. Assuming you had a portable SPICE model (either written in SPICE or compiled with ADMS), you could simulate the...

preferably free :biggrin: I used Prezi in high school and PowerPoint in middle, but haven't had to use anything since. thanks. edited to add: if it's a really great one...I would be willing to look into buying it.

Hello, Are there any windows compatible physics course software that I can use to quickly review college level physics? I know textbooks and online courses are an option but I prefer a using a downloadable software that can be used offline. Please let me know if you know of any. Thanks!

I'm currently an undergraduate student in computer science and I'm tryng to figure out what is the difference between Soft Tech MS course and Soft Eng MS course. For now, i found that software engeneers are more capable to handle the "hardware" while software technology courses gives you more...

Hi - I need/want to create reasonably professional block diagrams and wondered if anyone knew of the best software to do this? Free is better than $$ unless the stuff you pay for is loads better. We are not talking anything amazingly complicated here. I am doing some work with optics and...

Hi PF! I'm trying to model a fluid dynamics problem where there is flow in a wedge. Length scale is 160mm and two fluid phase: air sits on top of silicone oil. Boundary conditions can be to specify height conditions, flow rate, et cetera. Very low gravity, so surface tension is very relevant...

Hello, What software or tool is used in this video to present the material this way? Thanks

Hello. If Linux is completely written in C(?) then I need a strong reason to opt for OOPs for Embedded Systems software. Can anybody tell me a situation or a circumstance that would make me use Object Oriented Programming principles to write software for Embedded Systems? Thanks.
