GLOBE Claritas Academia
Claritas is an ideal choice for academic sites because of the relatively low cost of the software, and the flexible licensing policy which allows multiple CPUs and users for one license fee. This makes it ideal as a teaching tool.
Another bonus for the classroom are the tutorial sessions provided with Claritas - these are ready to be used for teaching (the accompanying notes and instructions are quite detailed) or may be used as a starting point for your own class labs. The easy-to-learn interface, and the detailed level of on-line help are particularly valuable for short-term or itinerant users.
Claritas is especially well-suited for any research environment because of the flexibility of the software and ease with which new code can be added. Strange acquisition geometries can be accommodated, and it is straightforward to add a few lines of Fortran (or call your own functions) in the middle of a processing flow.
