The FEDEM simulation software including its graphical user interface has been under development since the early nineties as a proprietary code. Due to limited and reduced commercial use, its owner SAP SE has decided to sunset FEDEM as a component in its product portfolio.
The source code is now therefore provided to the public under a open source license, as a service to previous users and to ensure that it can still be maintained by the community.
The FEDEM source code is organized into several repositories, using the
git submodule concept to maintain relations between them.
The main repositories are as follows:
- fedem-gui - The FEDEM user interface (C++ code)
- fedem_mdb - The FEDEM model database (C++ code)
- fedem_solvers - The solver modules and Python API (Fortran and python code)
