Project Nucleus for AutoCAD

You can simulate cloth, water and other soft materials in AutoCAD with the newly released "Project Nucleus" for AutoCAD 2012 (available on Autodesk Labs). Nucleus is based on the Maya modeling kernel. Using this add-on tool you can create real-world 3D shapes which would be very difficult to model using the standard CAD tools. See a sample video on our YouTube channel and download the sample DWG drawing (tablecloth).
