September 2022 is a month to remember (well at least if you get excited about
advanced numerical simulation). The reason is that
Altair announced the immediate availability in the
opensource domain of their explicit finite element code Radioss (re-branded to
OpenRadioss). Now it is up to the community to
start adding useful new features and hopefully operato is one of them.
operato is a set of tools and utilities that support the use of OpenRadioss.
I currently have two tools in mind:
- A Python package to facilitate the programmatic generation of starter and engine files.
- A conversion tool for the conversion of OpenRadioss
.h3dfiles to any of the VTK file formats.
