This looks really cool. I sent in my application. I really want to see more use of R3F and 3D overall on the web.

This is the most specific salary range that I have ever seen - especially for one that is negotiable.

I worked on the space program for a few years. Massive fraud that was carried out with an audacity that would make Boss Hogg blush. When I initially complained, my boss told me that NASA was "a middle class welfare program" and th

I don't understand how this works. If I am giving you money and your are giving bitcoin to the people I am supporting, then mastercard will not allow you to take money if you facilitate right wing views. If I am giving you bitcoin and

I am a structural engineer of moderate capability. I have developed an engineering platform as a startup. If anyone is serous about doing one of these projects, I would love to speak with you about helping and about using my platform to des

I have a 4 yo son and a 9 month old. I am a stay at home dad and I just launched a startup. My kids go to bed a8 and I work and learn from 8pm to either 12 or 2am. Yes it sucks. Life is a series of choices and I choose to loose sleep instea

Just briefly looked at this. This is python? Have your looked at SciPy?

Structural engineering. I have a startup in the field and I have spoken with a European team in the same field that got an interview to YC as well. However, YC and others seem to have an aversion to this field as it can be slow moving to ad

What I call "Document" are not files in the sense of a word file. They look like text files because that is what I thought engineers would be comfortable dealing with. However, they function as programs. Documents can be used as p

I might be working on something that you would be interested in. MVP is at www.cadwolf.com. I am a structural engineer with an MS from UT Austin. Website in written with php using Laravel and angular framework for JS. The plan is to link CA

I would love to see that as well. I have a project with similar goals (posted above). I would like for users to be able to simply call built in functions to do the normal tedious stuff like stress in rods, beams, etc.

I am working on doing this. The project is called cadwolf. The MVP is up now and I will coming out with a full version in January. If anyone has comments, love to hear them. If you are interested in collaborating, let know too.

This is an interesting position. I am a structural engineer (MS in ASE from UT Austin). I live in the area, I worked on the Orion for a while, and my wife is a civil servant at NASA. I've been to the NBL a couple of times for various t

"It will be like a lighter version of YC for idea and prototype stage companies" - Which doesn't fit Pinboard at all." - I agree 100%

Thanks, I've got 3 or 4 YC rejections and now 2 fellowship rejections (single founder). Finding a co-founder in Houston is not easy. I believe that my YC applications were better written than the very limited writeup we got here, but I

I would like to thank everyone for the feedback and the discussion. I've been plugging away at CADWOLF for a while now to get an MVP going and I am really just a few weeks from a solid code base. The feedback I got let me know that I w

Is that because you want to verify the algorithms, because you want to make sure it isn't spying on your work or copying it, because you want to contribute, or for something else?

But Node.js would only allow me to run one thing at a time. I want to be able to run equations on the server while updating things on the DOM/Server as well. Am I wrong about that?
22.
by theuttick 10y ago
No, I have built a system that solves the equations and then displays them in the mathematically correct format. (Yes, it took forever) Each equation can be thought of as a line of code. Each web page is both a document like Word and a prog

It will disappear until all of the items are appropriately filled in. There should be a message telling you what needs to be changed. Since this is web based the user name can contain only letters and numbers since it is used in the URL. If

I understand what you are saying. There is already a web based CAD system called onShape that I will likely use in my initial phase as the CAD system. They have APIs but I haven't delved too deeply into it. I will be writing most of th

I understand your concerns and they are legitimate. Full fledged browser based CAD systems already exist in things like Onshape. Our algorithms will run partially on the server and mostly in the browser. However, CADWOLF isn't really a

That is one of the biggest issues I am working on. One person can make a mistake that messes up entire structures. You also don't want changes coming in every time you reload. What I am working on is showing the user that changes are n

CADWOLF is not CAD software in the browser. CADWOLF is an completely new way of doing engineering that links CAD to the background mathematics and a part tree. CAD is one future component, but what we propose is drastically different from s

by theuttick 10y ago
Onshape is a web based CAD system. Aside from the fact that it is web based, it is no different than any other CAD system. CADWOLF is a proposal to do engineering completely differently. It will have a CAD system that is indeed web based, b

I am the founder of CADWOLF. I am not sure where that tagline comes from. CADWOLF will eventually be a full scale engineering solution. The idea is that an engineer designs the system mathematically in web pages on CADWOLF that we call docu

I am the founder of CADWOLF. There is no product that links a CAD model to a mathematics background to an FE model to a part tree system to a documentation and analysis system. While there are a number of products like Matlab to solve math
