Selected plugins

sim ships open by default. The runtime, protocol, and most drivers are Apache-2.0. A handful of drivers — the ones that bind sim to commercial, vendor-IP-sensitive simulators — are distributed as closed-source wheels through sim plugin install. The wheels are published to cdn.svdailab.com and resolved automatically by name:

Terminal window
sim plugin install <name>
PluginWhat it drives
comsolCOMSOL Multiphysics
abaqusDassault SIMULIA Abaqus
mechanicalAnsys Mechanical

These plugins do not bundle the underlying simulator. You must already have a licensed install of the target product on the host where you run sim. The plugin only knows how to drive what’s already on your machine.

If you’d like sim to drive a simulator that’s not on the list above, get in touch at contact@svdailab.com.
