Open Source

Engineers accept phenomenal responsibility when dedicating their lives to improve our built environment. However, the vast majority of professional engineering software is, regrettably, closed source and proprietary. This is unfair and must change. Engineers should be offered the respect and freedom to inspect, validate and influence the algorithms used to design our buildings and bridges.

Gazelle is proudly open-source.

Contributing

For those interested in helping to build Gazelle, please ⭐️ and 'watch' this repository so that you can track its progress in real-time.

We are always on the lookout for new contributors to help:

  • Propose design improvements,
  • Develop and maintain the engine,
  • Enhance our testing and performance suite,
  • Verify algorithmic correctness.

Errata

Gazelle aspires to achieve the highest standards of professional rigour. We consider Civil Engineering software to be safety critical. We strive to ensure stability, robustness and correctness throughout the source code, test suite and companion documentation. Nevertheless, our team are human and mistakes are possible.

We recommend that all users carefully review the code, tests and documentation. Please submit error reports and suggestions for improvement via GitHub Issues. For anyone who would like to attempt a fix or improvement, we would encourage you to review our Contributing guidance and submit a Pull Request.
