OpenRadioss is not open anymore

Siemens is transitioning the OpenRadioss simulation software into a proprietary model under the Simcenter portfolio. The company is retiring the open-source website and redirecting users to commercial and managed research programs.
Why it matters
This shift represents a significant change in the open-source engineering software landscape, impacting academic and industrial research accessibility.
Siemens is entering a new chapter for the Radioss solver. We are focusing future investment within the Simcenter portfolio to accelerate innovation and provide robust support for production-grade simulation. Users can continue their journey through Simcenter Radioss and the Simcenter Radioss research and development (R&D) program.
all For production simulation Explore Simcenter Radioss, our flagship commercial solution. It offers the full power of the explicit solver with dedicated support, advanced material libraries and seamless integration into the Simcenter ecosystem.
all For research and innovation We are launching the Simcenter Radioss R&D Program (SCRDP) — a managed "Shared Source" environment for academic and industrial partners to co-innovate on the future of explicit dynamics.
Work directly with Siemens development teams through approved co-development projects, technical guidance and peer reviews to accelerate innovation.
Gain access to Simcenter Radioss source code and a private high-performance computing environment to support advanced research and development activities.
