KratosMultiphysics <-> GiD Interface

The user interface of Kratos with GiD.

If you need the latest stable release, launch your GiD, navigate to Data > Problemtype > Internet retrieve and download Kratos there. Available for Linux. Windows, and macOS.

If you need the developer version, you are on the right place.
