Backyard influencer update, he is military and someone in a mentorship role came over to talk to him today while I was hanging out with my cat and dog in the yard. The young sailor gave a very impassioned speech"I need to get a Marine one coin, it is my dream to earn one, my god given mission."

I'm terrible at FreeCad FEA, setting up meshes, and going back and hand editing other people's stuff to see if it will work cause I don't know how to mesh well. Anyways, I suck at it. So there is a game engine GODOT that can be used as an interface. FEA in VR might be coming voxeled near you.
