WARP3D is under continuing development as a research and production quality code for the solution of large-scale, 3-D solid models subjected to static, dynamic and temperature loads. The capabilities of the code focus on fatigue & fracture analyses primarily in metals. WARP3D runs on laptops-to-supercomputers and can analyze models with millions of nodes and elements. See Capabilities page for detailed list of features.
The distribution includes: ready-to-run executables for Windows 10/11 (x86-64), Linux (x86-64), macOS (Silicon, arm64), macOS ( x86-64); extensive documentation and verification sets; workflows; all source code and build scripts.

18.5.0 Current Release: Build 5100. 13 April 2026. Download complete system here (800MB .zip). Major development is new support for Apple Silicon (arm64) computers. Support for older, Intel-based Macs will continue for sometime. Support for MPI has been removed. Transition completed to the (free) Intel ifx compiler system on Linux and WIndows. Supporting tools for imposing periodic boundary conditions on very large RVE models now included. Documentation updated across system. See Revision History for other changes this release.

The WARP3D system is maintained on two web sites:
This site (warp3d.net) contains general information about the WARP3D project, capabilities and links to download documentation and compressed files for the entire system that contain: ready-to-run executables for Windows, Linux, Macs; all source code and build scripts; all documentation, example and verification suites.
The code development and management site at GitHub. The default (master) branch is maintained with continuous updates to the source code, supporting build files and the history/tracking of all changes are available for download at this site.
