Formerly OASiS

openPASO was first published under the name OASiS. The archived Zenodo records and the accompanying paper use that name, and they remain valid: they describe the same software, before it was renamed. The old repository address github.com/Hereon-InstituteMS/OASiS forwards to the new one.

Who makes it

openPASO is developed at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Institute of Materials Mechanics, and Hamburg University of Technology, together with everyone who contributes.
