Siemens Slams the Door Shut on Promising Open-Source Radioss Project
6 hours ago
- Siemens has shut down the OpenRadioss open-source project, closing its website and GitHub repository.
- OpenRadioss was originally released by Altair under AGPL in 2022 and was a milestone for technical computing.
- The shutdown is a disappointment to the open-source community, which used the software for benchmarking and research.
- Siemens justifies the closure by consolidating efforts into its own Simcenter Radioss and Radioss R&D program.
- The GitHub repository now returns a 404 error, with no archived source code left available.
- In response, Rocky Linux developers have created a community fork called OpenCourant.
