[Bruno Chareyre <bruno.chareyre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ooops! Some of the acronyms where not defined correctly :

OX-frame : open explicit framework (obviously :))
 
and few more ideas :

Opsidyan : open software in dynamic analysis (the "in" should be a "for" 
probably...)
Edyc : explicit dynamic code, or even :
Edy : explicit dynamics

>>PDM    - Platform for Dynamical Modeling
>>PNM    - Platform For Numerical Modeling
>>CARSS  - Computational And Research Software for Scientists
>>VIDAIC - Vidaic Is Delivering An Interplatform Computation
>>SWEET  - Scientific Workbench for Explicit Engineering Theories
>>EOS    - Extensible Open Simulation

>>
>>please free your mind, and write what name you'd like!

>>
>>We are a bit tight on time, because the paper about yade is ready to
>>submit to "Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering"
>>journal. And I think it's better to submit it with the correct name!
>>
>>If anyone wants to see the article before it appears in the journal,
>>please let me know and I'll send it (it's a 2MB .pdf).
>>
>>
>>Let's say that we are collecting your suggestions for one week - until
>>23.april, and then we will make voting that will last until 30.april.
>>
>>After that yade will have a new name!
