Software and applications

The NRC develops software tools and applications to help researchers, industry and the general public accomplish various complex tasks. See the list below to learn about and get access to the tools.

Research Centre: Advanced Electronics and Photonics
BEAMnrc is now part of EGSnrc.
Blue Kenue Visualization
Research Centre: Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering
Blue Kenue™ is an advanced data preparation, analysis, and visualization tool for hydraulic modellers. It provides a state-of-the-art interface, integrating geospatial data with model input and results data.
Research Centre: Metrology
The NRC's electron gamma shower (EGS) software is a general-purpose software toolkit that can be applied to build Monte Carlo simulations of coupled electron-photon transport, for particle energies ranging from 1 keV to 10 GeV.
Research Centre: Construction
The soundPATHS web application is a prediction tool for the calculation of direct and flanking sound transmission between adjacent rooms using the calculation procedure outlined in the 2015 edition of the National Building Code of Canada.
Research Centre: Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering
Green Kenue™ is an advanced data preparation, analysis, and visualization tool for hydrologic modelers to assist them with surface hydrological modelling, forecasting and event simulation.
Research Centre: Construction
IA-Quest provides a database of materials and their measured emissions allowing materials to be selected based on low emissions. The tool also predicts the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials and furnishings.
Research Centre: Digital Technologies
YiSi is open-source software that evaluates the accuracy of meaning in output sentences produced by machine translation systems.
Research Centre: Digital Technologies
ExaCTDemo is an information extraction system to find key information from scientific clinical trial publications and clinical trial registries.
Research Centre: Digital Technologies
The NRC Sentiment and Emotion Lexicons is a collection of seven lexicons, including the widely used Word-Emotion Association Lexicon.
