The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document “free” in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non-commercially.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This website would not be possible without the help and collaboration of a number of friends and colleagues that contributed with their feedback to improve and let this site be more "user-friendly".

Here I would acknowledge the precious help and support of:

• Alessio Sansivero, for the help in promoting this website and giving me feedback on the site's usability and bugs
• Francesco Carola, for the nice logo and his constant feedback on usability, interface and a lot of details of the website

Nowadays the importance of modeling reality with numerical simulation is continuously increasing in modern engineering practices. The complexity of new structures and the cost of experimental testing are inducing the design engineer to use virtual prototyping more frequently. The aim is to predict the response and the performance of a system as well as to reduce the costs of real prototypes. The "analysis leads design" paradigm can now be considered as a strong tendency for many applications in the automotive and aerospace industry. In this context, the verification and validation process of well known discretization techniques represents a fundamental step to build credibility on simulation prediction.
