COMPAS is an open-source Python framework for research and computational design in architecture, engineering, digital fabrication and construction. The core library provides geometry, data structures such as meshes and graphs, and computational tools, and extensions for areas such as structural form-finding and robotic fabrication build on it. You install it with conda or pip and run it in any environment that supports Python, including Rhino, Grasshopper and Blender. Limitation: it is a code library, not a program with a graphical interface, and needs Python skills.
