OSPEN

OSPEN, or Open Source Physical Environment Network, is a project focused on creating an open-source framework for the simulation and analysis of physical environments. Its primary goal is to provide researchers and developers with a flexible and extensible platform to model complex interactions within these environments. This includes areas such as fluid dynamics, thermal modeling, structural analysis, and more. OSPEN aims to foster collaboration and innovation by making advanced simulation tools accessible and modifiable.

The project emphasizes modularity, allowing users to integrate different simulation engines and data processing tools. This design encourages the development of specialized modules for various applications, from urban planning and renewable energy systems to robotics and virtual reality. By leveraging open-source principles, OSPEN seeks to reduce the barriers to entry for sophisticated environmental simulation, enabling a wider community to contribute to and benefit from its development. The framework is intended to support a range of hardware, from standard desktop computers to high-performance computing clusters, facilitating scalability in simulations.
