| Reply: [[Blender]] has got some sort of fluid dynamics simulation, I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for? ''OpenSource CAD and animation software'': [http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-240/fluids-simulation/ Blender.org] )

| == AT transport category ==
| |
|
| |
| I have found a web page that could serve as inspiration for AT CAD Team: http://www.sakaramenta.com/
| |
| It is a startup that use scrapped bicycles and scrap-metal to build carts, ambulance and other Appropriate vehicles. This projects products are in this project for sale, or buyers can use microcredits to "rent" a cart and bicycle very cheeply. (but many business models is possible if you need to earn profit from it or develop into small-scale entrepreneurship-possibility for many unemployed)

| Projects like this would not work in my country, because new bicycles imported from China have become extremely cheap to buy.
| |
| However I would promote homebuilt transportation like this (bicycles, skateboards, handrolled carts) far more than trying to start to build engine-propelled vehicles, or even flying projects, that seems not appropriate at all to me. But please feel free to enlighten me to why it is necessary to waste so much material and energy to lift people or freight?

| I have also recently watched a short documentary from Colombia, where many thousands of children use a very simple cable to cross canyons on their way to and from school, daily. And it was amazing to see how they can be creative to overcome such problems without vehicles or electricity.

| ==Fabrication==
| |
| with the rapid rise of open-source digital fabrication -- it is highly recommended that the AT CAD team use open-source CAD packages like [[OpenSCAD]] and also submit STL files which can be digitally manufactured via open-source 3-D printers or other methods. Simple 3D images may be useful for clarifying some ideas - but it is far more powerful to provide a literal 3-D design in a format that can be used for digital manufacturing.
