# Affiliated Packages

While Cantera provides some standalone models and applications, numerous external
packages exist that provide more specialized functionality and rely on Cantera. Here we
provide a non-exhaustive, alphabetical, list of these packages; if you would like us to
include your package, please [submit a pull request](https://github.com/cantera/cantera-website/pulls),
