I thought my university provided a copy of Mnova, but they didn’t. Are there repositories for this kind of software.

    Generally there are free trials or FOSS alternatives for most academic programs because academics are stingey af.

    Cursory search showed Spin Works might suit your needs.

      Well, and also because journal publication incentivizes using FOSS for reproducibility

        Yeah, I was being a bit flippant but it’s true that FOSS is more compatible with open science. To be honest nothing I use anymore is paid. My testing software, analysis software and modelling software is all FOSS and developed by Academics in my area and I honestly don’t see an advantage to paid versions. Shit, we even use Inkscape to edit figures.
