MuJoCo, developed and maintained by Google DeepMind, is a high-performance physics engine designed for simulating complex, articulated systems that interact through contact. It is widely used in research fields such as robotics, biomechanics, computer graphics, animation, and machine learning, where fast and accurate physics simulations are essential. The engine provides a robust C API optimized for real-time computation, making it suitable for scientific research and advanced simulation environments. MuJoCo’s core architecture is performance-tuned and utilizes preallocated data structures created through an XML-based compiler. The platform includes built-in interactive visualization using OpenGL and a native graphical interface for analyzing and testing simulations. Additionally, it offers extensive utility functions for physics computation, Python bindings for developers, and a Unity plug-in to enable integration with game engines and visualization tools.

FRAME3DD is a program for the static and dynamic structural analysis of two- and three-dimensional frames and trusses with elastic and geometric stiffness.

Curve fitting | Data analysis | Plotting | Matrix operations | FFT | Extensible framework | Multiple file formats | Programmable | Open source | Free for everyone NumeRe: Framework for Numerical Computation is a numerical framework written for Microsoft Windows(R) and released under the GNU GPL v3 for solving and visualizing mathematical and physical problems numerically. Keep simple things simple: You want to plot a sine function? Just enter 'plot sin(x)'. You want to load some data? Enter 'load "path/to/your/file"' or drag the file into the terminal. You need to fit a function to the data? Enter 'fit data() -with=YOURFUNCTION(x)' Need assistance? Enter 'help topic' into the terminal or simply press [F1].
