| View in Browser   September 2023 Edition   Welcome, Has it only been one year since we launched OpenRadioss? We have all come so far and so fast!  Downloads of the open-source code started within minutes of launch. With our ever-expanding worldwide OpenRadioss Community, today it means that OpenRadioss is now not only being used but being enhanced and adapted to meet a variety of diverse needs across industry and academia.  At two very successful user events (Paris 2022, Aachen 2023), our community members were very keen to not only present but freely discuss their projects and seek the expertise of others. This was the vision we had a year ago, and now many others have discovered the benefits of being part of an active open-source software Community.  Thank you everyone who have already contributed and supported our efforts in many ways – especially our Host and Sponsors for the Aachen event. We have a couple of announcements about how we are continuing to spread the OpenRadioss name wider, but more about that later!   - Marian Bulla \| OpenRadioss Community Manager Learn More         OpenRadioss Users' Day 2023 Aachen, Germany OpenRadioss Users' Day \| June 27th, 2023   If you missed the event or wish to refresh your memory, the technical presentations are now available here.   We thank our generous sponsors:       Introducing the OpenRadioss Steering Committee OpenRadioss Steering Committee   By bringing together leading experts from Academia and Industry, our recently established OpenRadioss Steering Committee are helping shape the future direction of OpenRadioss, align its priorities with industry challenges, and widely-promote the project and its benefits.    Learn More   Meet the Community Paul Sharp \| OpenRadioss Doc Guru     Successful software relies on up-to-date, accurate information be it on the website, in the technical and user documentation systems, etc.   With 20+ years of experience on the front-line, solving application problems for users, Paul has not only contributed many GUI enhancements to OpenRadioss, but is the go-to-guy for OpenRadioss documentation.
