Parametric patterns - Valentina and Seamly2D
I've just discovered Valentina and its fork Seamly2D, which are parametric pattern editors. I've to say that they seem to be interesting pieces of software.
- How important is capturing exact curvature when making patterns? Will my seam allowance/sewing accuracy make this difference a wash?

From sketch to skirt!
and Valentina looks like it's free software (i'm not sure how to use GitLab to download the program) but there is also a company of the same name that is offereing paid versions?

EPANET (https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET & https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet )
Chances are the water network that's connect to your home was modelled using this FOSS by the US EPA.
Unfortunately, it was probably done using a commercial tool by Bentley or Innovyze/Autodesk but the underlying modeling engine was from the EPA.
What are some alternatives?
