Acknowledgements and Funding

The development of solids4foam has not been supported by a single dedicated funding grant. However, significant parts of the methodology, algorithms, and software infrastructure implemented in solids4foam were developed in the context of publicly and industry-funded research projects.

We therefore gratefully acknowledge the support of the following funding bodies and programmes, whose projects contributed research outcomes, code, and validation cases that have fed into solids4foam over time:

• Research Ireland (formerly Science Foundation Ireland and the Irish Research Council) — through research centres, postgraduate, and investigator-led projects supporting computational mechanics and multiphysics modelling.
• European Research Council (ERC) — through the XenoSim (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101088740) ERC-funded research project in computational solid mechanics and fluid–structure interaction.
• Enterprise Ireland — via industry–academic collaboration projects and research centres that contributed to applied modelling challenges and software development.
• Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) — through nationally funded research projects supporting the development and application of advanced numerical methods, computational fluid dynamics, computational solid mechanics, and high-performance scientific computing.

The views and implementations expressed in solids4foam are those of the developers and contributors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funding agencies.
