Impact - a Free Explicit Dynamic Finite Element ProgramCrushed profile

Impact is an open source finite element program suite which can be used to predict most dynamic events such as car crashes or metal sheet punch operations. They usually involve large deformations and high velocities.

Simulations are made on a virtual three dimensional model which can be created with a pre-processor or with the built-in Fembic language. Results are viewed in a post-processor.

Yesterday, and today, Paul Hartzog and I architected the basic building blocks of Local Food Systems network architecture.

The idea here is to be able to make very flexible and useful architecture, that can be easily added to over time, and that can be used both on localfoodsystems.org *and* elsewhere.

The system accepts multiple inputs, processes in many useful ways, and generates multiple outputs. The system is made entirely of open source software.
