⚠️ Development Status: This project is in active development. The repository structure is currently being built out. See Current State and Roadmap below.

Spatial Mesh Engine is a modern C++20 + Python framework for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and computational geometry. It's the open-source alternative to ANSYS, COMSOL, and commercial FEM software—built for engineers, researchers, and students who want production-grade analysis without enterprise price tags.

• Mesh Structure: Tetrahedral mesh support with validation and quality assessment
• Finite Element Analysis: FEM-based linear elasticity solvers with sparse matrix techniques
• Spatial Transforms: 3D affine transformations (translation, rotation, scaling)
• Multi-threaded Execution: Full OpenMP parallelization for computational speed
• Python Integration: Optional Python bindings via pybind11
• Educational Framework: Transparent algorithms you can actually understand

• GPU acceleration (CUDA/HIP)
• Distributed computing (MPI)
• WebAssembly visualization
• REST API for cloud deployment
• Machine learning integration

• University FEM courses and labs
• Research collaboration and algorithm development
• Transparent implementations (unlike black-box commercial tools)

• Structural analysis and stress simulation
• Bridge and building analysis
• Product design and validation
• Composite material analysis
• Aerospace component testing

• Replace $5k+/year ANSYS licenses
• Customize solvers for specific domains
• Deploy to cloud without vendor constraints
• Full control over source code
