What happened

This week was the surprising and unfortunate decision of Siemens shutting down the OpenRadioss (an open-source-solver for finite-element-method) project as the four year old open-source (published so anyone may read, use and change the code) project started by Altair Engineering with their prominent Radioss finite element solver. Siemens didn't just end the project but they shutdown the GitHub repository that hosted the open-source code and removed other resources that had built around it.
