====== Software ======
Software used by the two courses.

===== CAD =====
==== Digital Project ====
The CAD software we use for the Parametric Design Class at [[stanford:Stanford]], **Digital Project**, is a variant of the enterprise CAD solution developed by [[http://www.3ds.com/|Dassault Systémes]]; [[http://www.3ds.com/products/catia/catia-discovery/|CATIA]]. DP has been developed over a number of years by [[http://www.gehrytechnologies.com/|Gehry Technologies]] to address the need of Architectural projects.

If you haven't found this already, the [[http://www.gtwiki.org/mwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page|GT Wiki]] acts as a collaborative help and community.

==== Siemens PLM NX ====
The main CAD app used at [[ltu:Luleå]] University of Technology will be [[http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/nx/index.shtml|Siemens NX]]. The software was originally developed by McDonnell Douglas' Unigraphics Group and is in functionality and scope on par with Catia and Pro/E.


===== UML/SysML =====
==== Enterprise Architect ====
[[http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/products/ea/index.html|Enterprise Architect]] by Sparx Systems is a good tool for building models using UML. Add the [[http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/products/mdg/tech/sysml/index.html|MDG SysML]] plug-in to work with SysML.

==== yEd ====
[[http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html|yEd]] is a free and easy to use graph modeler that can be used for sketching out diagrams. The advantage over other drawing/diagramming tools is the wide collection of built in automatic layout tools.
