I’ve heard that you talked mostly about the transition to team development and the need for a large code refactor, but you’ve also mentioned the long-awaited Riks solver. Will you share the slides? ---

I hope I can make the slides available soon. In the meantime, here is a summary of the talk: - Brief history on the development of CalculiX and what problems it can solve - Short overview of community activity with some numbers on downloads etc. - Development model and transition to team-based development - Some code base properties and associated challenges - Code modernization goals to reduce legacies and improve code maintainability and utility - Outlook for some planned major features (Riks solver / arc-length method, improved linear solver interfaces) ---
