 Technology can be frustrating, and
 having a conversation about frustration that also involves lacking useful notes and being ill-prepared, is often mutually frustrating and tends to be a waste of time.  If that seems arrogant, imagine I am talking about myself.  
 
-I lack useful notes on what happens if the software is run on unsuitable machines.  And I'm ill-prepared to answer questions for free when I spent years producing the free software for free and co-wrote the first peer-reviewed research article for free (that the journal publisher will hide behind a paywall in lieu of a few thousand dollars, while in tech we thankfully can release free software for free). Like most people, I need to make some money.

No external funding sources have sponsored the development of this software.  If this simulation software helps with the goals of your organization -- and is saving money by providing a head-start on research or teaching projects -- then your organization should become a financial sponsor.
