Industry-Proven Altair Radioss Finite Element Analysis Solver Now Available as Open-Source Solution
Altair, a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI) announced that Altair Radioss – an industry-proven finite element analysis (FEA) dynamic simulation code – is now available as an open-source technology under the name OpenRadioss. With OpenRadioss Altair aims to accelerate the global pace of innovation and address the ever-increasing multidisciplinary challenges – particularly climate change and sustainability objectives – faced by all industries.
For more than 30 years, Radioss has been a successful commercial software product utilized around the globe to help major automotive OEMs develop 5-star rated crash performance vehicles, aerospace companies simulate “hard” landings and bird strikes, and consumer electronics manufacturers analyze impact events, like cell phone drops.

“Radioss is a first-rate technology for solving transient dynamic events with outstanding robustness and accuracy. It is a tool that’s massively parallel and readily scalable, and gives numerically consistent and reliable results,” said James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. “Staying true to Altair’s open architecture philosophy, OpenRadioss allows everyone to contribute, drive their own innovations, develop and share their own models, and experiment by getting inside the code. This makes OpenRadioss an agile tool that always stays on the cutting edge, regardless of industry.”
With OpenRadioss, Altair envisions faster advances in technology that will speed up research focused on solving today’s most complex challenges. Additionally, the newly established OpenRadioss Community will benefit from the industry-proven comprehensive code base, modern software architecture with the most advanced hybrid (SMP+MPI) parallel structure, and robust numerical methods based on explicit time integration schemes.
