New comment by deepaksurti in "Ask HN: Best Graphics libraries to build CAD solutions?"

deepaksurti — Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:48:42 +0000

If open source suits you fine then I would recommend Blender. See [1] and [2] as examples of blender plugins for open foam based simulations.

With Blender you get advantages of open source, game engines and a fairly extensible 3d toolkit.

Any recommendations for such a service with the ballpark cost? Thanks!

>> Not if you are on an H1B visa ;-)

But one must also 100% expect themselves to evaluate thoroughly T&C, pros and cons before signing up for anything, including a visa.
