Text-to-CAD: Risks and Opportunities
It seems a bizarre statement to state that OpenCASCADE isn't fully capable. Its the only OS licensed kernel that'll read a STEP file. Also "modern foundation" is a misleading statement, any CAD kernel bearing any kind of relevance seems implying a codebase that's been around for a quarter century. Like it or not OpenCASCADE is the hand that was dealt. I've worked with the technology [1] extensively and it provided the underpinnings for a startup I've founded [2]. pythonocc is the bees knees, it allows you to develop a proper CAD app. Don't take my word for it, but see also the many publications that have built on the tech [3]

Modules for 3d simulations (such as robotic arms)?
I tried to use PyMadCAD but once I have created the robotic arm I have no way to control it automatically.
What are some alternatives?
cadquery - A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
CQ-editor - CadQuery GUI editor based on PyQT
jupyter-cadquery - An extension to render cadquery objects in JupyterLab via pythreejs
blender - Official mirror of Blender
antimony - CAD from a parallel universe
meshio - :spider_web: input/output for many mesh formats
trimesh - Python library for loading and using triangular meshes.
FreeCAD - This is the official source code of FreeCAD, a free and opensource multiplatform 3D parametric modeler.
deepxde - A library for scientific machine learning and physics-informed learning
curated-code-cad - A list of the various code-cad projects out there.
