FreeCAD is a basic 3D CAD with advanced Motion Simulation capabilities. It is suitable for anyone interested in learning 3D CAD and Motion Simulation for free before using more sophisticated packages. Educators, students and new engineers will find it ideal for the teaching and learning of geometry, kinematics, dynamics, vibrations, mechanisms, linkages, cams, machine design and physics. The program runs on Windows, Linux PC, Macintosh PPC and other Unix\'s. Assembly data are unchanged across platforms. It is a FREEWARE which is sponsor supported.

Users can input and output data from the tool using one of the following two methods:
1)
WebDAV

2)SFTP: Users can use sftp.globalhub.org and enter their GlobalHUB username and password to get access to their home directory on GlobalHUB.After that they can transfer data in and out of the tool.
