• for a Windows executable: look at www.bconverged.com/calculix, sourceforge.net/projects/calculixforwin or github.com. For an update of the bconverged distribution replace the executables in the bconverged download by the following files (ccx, cgx and the CAD converters from Pascal Mossier). It should be noted that the programs can also be executed without the installation of the bconverged distribution.

• a STEP-to-fbd, IGES-to-fbd, fbd-to-STEP and fbd-to-IGES converter (including Linux binaries). If you have questions on this tool please contact pascal.mossier@gmail.com.
• a vda to fbd converter. After exporting a CAD model in vda format, you can use this program to convert it in fbd format and read it into cgx. If you have questions on this tool please contact johannes.barner@web.de.
• a acis to fbd converter. After exporting a CAD model in acis format (available in autoCAD), you can use this program to convert it in fbd format and read it into cgx. Splines and nurbs are not covered yet. This feature was coded by Roland Felde. Many thanks!
• a three-dimensional interpolation program. Interpolates the results from a master frd-file onto the nodes in a slave frd-file.
