About OpenFLUID

OpenFLUID is a software environment for spatial modelling in landscapes. Based on an explicit representation of spatial objects and their interactions, OpenFLUID is designed for modelling dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. It provides functionalities for the development and integration of computational codes, model coupling, parameterization and execution of simulations. It is also a collaborative framework for the capitalization and sharing of multi-disciplinary scientific models.
OpenFLUID has already been applied in various contexts: hydrology, diffuse pollution, agricultural practices, erosion, land use planning, etc.
Free, open-source and based on open standards, OpenFLUID is fully commited to open and reproducible science approaches.

Features

  • 🚀 Performance oriented simulation engine
  • 👩‍💻 Open architecture to plug your own simulation models
  • 🗂️ Extensible output formats through plugins
  • 🖥️ User friendly software environment for development and integration of models
  • ⌨️ Command line interface
  • 📚 Integrated documentation system for models
  • 🤝 Collaborative system to store and share models source codes

Built with

OpenFLUID relies on several tools and libraries

  • C++17

  • Boost for low-level structures

  • GDAL for geospatial data I/O and management

  • JSON for metadata and settings I/O

  • TinyXML for datasets I/O

  • libcurl for network operations

  • CMake for build/test/packaging configuration and management

  • Doxygen for technical documentation

  • Qt6 for UI framework and applications (Qt5 deprecated)

  • Pandoc for user-generated documentation conversion
