I Built a FREE GPU-Powered FEM Solver - Alt to LS-Dyna Radioss & Abaqus - Uses LS-Prepost & Paraview

Описание: WeldFormFEM is a FREE Opensource Updated Lagrangian Explicit Finite Element Method (FEM) CPU/GPU based solver.
It uses reduced integration tetra and constant stress tetra with locking correction. This can be used as an alternative to LS-Dyna, Abaqus & OpenRadioss for solid elements un contact with rigid surfaces, without Remeshing Yet.

WeldFormFEM is aimed to solve solid mechanics large strain problems, such as metal forming.

The idea is to work via 2 different solvers: 1 - Pure lagrangian with rezoning (adaptive mesh refinement or AMR), Work In Progress as first option
2 - Coupled Eulerian (fixed mesh or Arbitrarian Eulerian Lagrangian) Lagrangian solver based on Benson works.
WeldFormFEM works both on Ubuntu and Windows. you can select to build it to CPU and GPU only by changing a single CMAKE var.

Prepost is Made with LS-Prepost and Postprocess with paraview.
