The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation launched OpenCourant, a community fork that continues the OpenRadioss finite element solver from the last available open-source code base after Siemens discontinued the project, retired the openradioss.org site and removed the GitHub repository without leaving a public archive. The announcement says the code remains under the GNU AGPL v3 and that the project will be governed in the open under a vendor-neutral foundation so no single vendor can take it away again, and it takes its name from the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy stability condition behind explicit dynamics solvers. It calls on former OpenRadioss contributors, maintainers, researchers, industrial users and students to reconnect through the project’s repository, Rocky Linux Mattermost channel and email, saying technical direction and governance should be shaped by the people who know the solver best.
OpenRadioss lives on as OpenCourant, a community fork under the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation
