Let me advertise my "Bridge Hand Creator and Analyzer", a software which might be useful for you for analysis or teaching. It is a Java program. So you need to install a Java JRE. The source is available. Download of the jar file or the source from SourceForge:

https://sourceforge....ge-hand-replay/

Here is a short description of the features:

Create random hands with optional constraints, such as point counts, placed cards, or suit lengths.

Bid and play the hand. In Windows, the DLL by Bo Haglund for double dummy analysis can be used to analyze the contracts that can be made, to show the correct play, to play against correct defense.

Export to HTML, LIN, PBN is possible. HTML export uses CSS and shows the board and bidding or single hands. Import from LIN and PBN is possible. From IntoBridge, hands can be received via the clipboard, including bid and play.

There is an option to start Monte-Carlo deals with the given constraints, collecting good contracts.
