OpenCourant picks up the OpenRadioss solver
A community project says it is continuing the open-source finite-element solver for crash, impact, and highly nonlinear dynamic simulation after OpenRadioss was discontinued.
- For
- OpenRadioss users, contributors, and simulation researchers
- Worth noticing
- The page says the former repository was removed without an archive; the continuation is hosted by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation.
Field notes
The project identifies its starting point as the last available open-source OpenRadioss code base, licensed under GNU AGPL v3 and hosted by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. The homepage directs contributors to a GitHub repository with issues and pull requests, plus a Rocky Linux Mattermost channel; it explicitly asks former maintainers and community leaders to shape governance and direction. Its account of the former repository’s removal is presented by the project and is not independently verified in the supplied evidence.
