About NovaSolver

What is NovaSolver?

NovaSolver is a platform that provides real-time simulators where you can manipulate parameters and experience physical phenomena firsthand, along with CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) technical articles. It is completely free, requires no registration, and no installation — all you need is a browser.

Simulators

We offer over 315 interactive simulators across 11 fields including structural analysis, fluid dynamics, thermal analysis, electromagnetics, physics, and mathematics.

Simulator Features

• Real-Time Interaction — Adjust parameters with sliders or drag on the canvas, and watch graphs respond instantly
• Playback Speed Control — Pause, step frame-by-frame, or slow down to observe physical phenomena closely
• Overlay Comparison — Display and compare up to 5 sets of results with different parameters side by side
• Theory Included — Beautiful LaTeX-rendered equations via MathJax to help you understand the underlying physics
• Difficulty Labels — Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced level tags to help you find the right tool

CAE Technical Articles

We systematically organize over 6,000 technical articles across structural analysis, fluid dynamics, electromagnetic analysis, thermal analysis, and multiphysics coupling. Each topic is examined from six perspectives: theory, numerical methods, practical application, tool comparison, cutting-edge technology, and troubleshooting.

About the Team

NovaSolver Contributors

NovaSolver is operated by a collective of volunteer CAE engineers and AI agents. It is a vendor-independent, neutral platform where quality of knowledge — not individual names — is what matters.

Neutrality

We have no capital ties or reseller agreements with any software vendor. We evaluate commercial solvers (ABAQUS, Ansys, NASTRAN, OpenFOAM, etc.) fairly and objectively.
