                    New tutorial for PLaSM was finished, see http://femhub.com/nclab-tutorials/. PLaSM stands for Programming Language of Solid Modeling, and it allows you to create advanced 3D designs. The language is very simple. For example typing CUBOID([1, 1, 1]) will render a unit cube. There are various other

An introductory course called Meet Your New Graphing Calculator is available on the Tutorial Page. It begins with explaining is simple words what cloud computing is about and what benefits it brings to NCLab users. Then the reader learns how to create an account and log in, the meaning of the desktop icons, how to

NCLab’s Mesh Editor (ME) can be used to generate meshes on geometries created using the GE (or imported in XML). Mesh generation can be done manually (triangles and/or quads) or automatic (only triangles at the moment). Elements can have curved edges and meshes can have variable density in subdomains. Meshes can be passed to the

NCLab’s Geometry Editor (GE) can be used to create 2D geometries for computer models. It has intuitive controls and some nice features such as circular arcs, subdomains, and XML import. Geometries can be passed to Mesh Editor (ME) for manual or automatic mesh generation.

Link to NCLab was added to the home page of HNMI (Holistic Numerical Methods Institute) at the University of Southern Florida. HNMI is a world-leading resource for students who learn numerical methods. It features hundreds of YouTube videos, printed learning materials, programs, and now the visitors also can do online computations in their web browser

Today the U.S. Patent Office amended the description of services provided by NCLab to a final form: “Software as a service (SAAS) services, namely, hosting software for use by others for programming, computer modeling and scientific computing for a wide range of educational and research applications in the nature of business process simulations and teaching

Karel the Robot has a new addictive Game Mode! In Manual Mode, players can be as little as 3 years of age. You can either clone published games through the FileManager’s Clone button, or create your own. Each game consists of a maze, task description, maximum number of steps to make, minimum number of gems

You can now explore fractals in your web browser, for free, and as much as you like! NCLab has a new Fractal app that features the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. There are sliders to easily change the parameters, creating many beautiful fractal images. You can zoom in using the mouse wheel and experience the thing
