Siemens is ending the open, community-driven phase of the Radioss solver and consolidating future work into the commercial Simcenter Radioss portfolio. After four years of community research, investment will focus on a production-grade explicit finite-element solver with dedicated support, advanced material libraries, and integration into the Simcenter/Xcelerator ecosystem. Simcenter Radioss is presented as the flagship route for crashworthiness, impact, occupant safety, drop-test and other highly nonlinear simulations, targeting users who require validated, supported workflows for engineering and production.
The Radioss Research & Development Program (SCRDP) replaces the fully open model with a managed "Shared Source" collaboration for approved academic and industrial partners. Accepted participants receive controlled access to Simcenter Radioss source code, a private high-performance computing environment, and direct co-development with Siemens teams via technical guidance and peer review, enabling partners to help shape future features and explore advanced simulation methodologies. The OpenRadioss website is being retired and users seeking software, technical information, or engagement opportunities are redirected to Simcenter Radioss or invited to apply to the SCRDP.
