Altair has opensourced Radioss into OpenRadioss (Maybe we can add it as a FEM solver?)

:astonished: :smiley:

Yesterday they confirmed that the Windows version is being developed.

Meanwhile, this blog post can be helpful for those trying to use OpenRadioss on Linux: https://polymerfem.com/download-compile-and-use-openradioss/

From one thread there:

“We are actively working on Windows Porting.
There are several libraries missing which will not enable Windows”

In the meantime - If I can do it I am very sure you can :smiley:

Good Day!
I had a look at the Altair Radioss User Documentation:
https://openradioss.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OPENRADIOSS/pages/4816906/OpenRadioss+User+Documentation

On page 93+137 is the description of beam-elements and hinges.
A implementation in FC+Windows would be very cool, thats what I miss
for calculating structures like this:

Good news, they ported it to windows!

We did a native porting of OpenRadioss on Windows using
Intel OneAPI 2022.1
& Cygwin build environment.
This is possible starting from : > 91d597f
