OpenRadioss forked as OpenCourant after Siemens discontinuation
Key Takeaway
The OpenRadioss simulation technology is being revived as OpenCourant by the Rocky Linux community following its discontinuation by Siemens.
Summary
Following Siemens' decision to discontinue the OpenRadioss project, the Rocky Linux community has launched a fork named OpenCourant. Contributors are currently working to restore builds and recover missing components to preserve the open-source simulation technology.
Reviving simulation technology
- The project is a fork of OpenRadioss.
- The new project name is OpenCourant.
- Current community efforts are focused on restoring builds and identifying missing components.
Why it matters
This move preserves specialized open-source simulation tools that would otherwise have been lost due to corporate discontinuation.
