AIPOD is described as 'Universal platform for intelligent design optimization. AIPOD provides SilverBullet, an industry-leading intelligent optimization algorithm designed to remove pain points in industrial design, such as high computational costs of numerical simulation' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to AIPOD for Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and MATLAB. The best AIPOD alternative is COMSOL Multiphysics. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try FEATool Multiphysics or Elmer. Other great apps like AIPOD are SimScale, OpenFOAM, Code_Aster and Code_Saturne.
