OpenRadioss

OpenRadioss is an open-source explicit finite element solver for highly nonlinear, short-duration events. It is the open-source release of a long-established industrial crash code, and it handles large deformation, contact between many parts, elastic-plastic and damage material models, and failure, which is what crash, impact, drop and blast problems need.

Explicit time integration follows the event step by step, so the deformation, plastic strain and energy taken by each part come out directly instead of being guessed from an equivalent static load. Shirsh Technosolutions uses OpenRadioss for impact and crash-type studies on safety products, structures and equipment, with material curves built from real test data and an energy balance check on every run before results go into a report.

Licensing and training. OpenRadioss is open source, so Shirsh does not sell or license it and there is no licence fee to pay. What we offer is training: hands-on OpenRadioss courses for engineers and teams who want to build, run and check their own explicit models, along with consulting support on live projects.
