      most powerful alternative but unfortunately it has a steep learning curve and is time consuming to work with even after learning. it will be the best if it has a graphical user interface (GUI).

      It is a service based on OpenFOAM and CalculiX, that are considered good alternatives, and it has free-of-charge usage option (with limitations).
