These products offer software, libraries, and educational resources for mechanical design, computational fluid dynamics, and physics-based graphics simulation. They are primarily used by engineers, graphics programmers, and technical researchers modeling physical systems. This cluster is distinguished by its focus on mathematical and physical simulation rather than purely artistic 3D asset creation.
