In addition, the source code is completely open, and it is completely free. Coupled with good parallel scalability, this opens up great potential for increasing productivity and design security while reducing costs.<br>The focus of OpenFOAM is on Computational Fluid Dynamics. However, due to its open and modular architecture, the software is also ideal for solving other tasks, such as calculating electric and magnetic fields. Particularly because of the boundless customization options of open-source software, highly individual solutions can be excellently developed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"47\" class=\"wp-image-316\" style=\"width: 75px;\" src=\"https:\/\/silentdynamics.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/code_aster_logo.png\" alt=\"code aster logo\"><br>Code_Aster is the finite element program from Electricite de France (EDF).
