# CloudCad
CloudCad is an advanced, open-source, web-based Computer-Aided Design (CAD) application that integrates powerful 3D modeling capabilities with structural analysis features. Built for engineers, designers, and makers, CloudCad offers a seamless, cloud-based experience for creating, analyzing, and optimizing 3D models.
## Features
- **Parametric 3D Modeling**: Create and manipulate 3D models with a flexible, parametric approach.
- **Advanced CAD Operations**: Perform circular cuts, concentric extrusions, and mirroring.
- **Feature Management**: Toggle visibility and adjust colors of specific features.
- **Integrated Structural Analysis**: Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) within the application.
- **Intelligent Recommendations**: Receive suggestions to improve structural integrity.
- **Interactive 3D Visualization**: Real-time 3D rendering powered by Babylon.js.
- **Comprehensive Reporting**: Detailed structural analysis reports.
- **Export and Import Capabilities**: Custom JSON format and standard CAD formats support.
- **User-Friendly Interface**: Intuitive controls for both CAD operations and structural analysis.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Node.js (v14.0.0 or later)
- Python (v3.8 or later)
- CalculiX (for structural analysis)
### Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cloudcad.git
cd cloudcad
```
2. Install frontend dependencies:
```
cd frontend
npm install
```
3. Install backend dependencies:
```
cd ../backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Set up environment variables:
Create a `.env` file in the `backend` directory and add necessary variables (see `.env.example`).
### Running the Application
1. Start the backend server:
```
cd backend
python app.py
```
2. In a new terminal, start the frontend development server:
```
cd frontend
npm start
```
3. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000`.
