CAELinux FAQs

This FAQ (frequently asked questions) is intended to give general answers to commonly asked questions on CAELinux in general.

It should be an interactive & incrementally growing section, so feel free to add some personal contributions.


Question: What is CAELinux ?

Answer: CAELinux is a Linux distribution intended to provide a fully functionnal & preconfigured CAE workstation based on Open Source CAD/FEA/CFD softwares. It exists now in two versions: a liveDVD version that can also be installed on hard disk and a Virtual Machine version (VMWare) that is intended to be used from a guest operating system (for example: Windows). CAELinux and most of the included packages are distributed under GPL licence and thus are free to use, even for commercial applications.
