Open FUSION Toolkit (OFT)

The Open FUSION Toolkit is an open-source suite of modeling tools for engineering, analysis and education, developed and maintained at Columbia.

As the fusion community continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for fusion modeling tools that are fast, easy to use, and have tight integration with engineering workflows. The Open FUSION Toolkit is one such codebase, with applications in research, industry, and education. 

Open FUSION Toolkit (OFT)

The Open FUSION Toolkit is publicly available on GitHub with binary packages available for Linux, Windows, and MacOS. OFT contains detailed code documentation and a continually growing set of examples and use cases.

The suite currently includes the following tools:

  • TokaMaker: Axisymmetric statice and time-dependent ideal MHD equilibria
  • ThinCurr: Inductively-excited currents in the thin-wall limit
  • MUG: Time-dependent nonlinear (linear) extendend MHD
  • Marklin: 3D force-free ideal MHD equilibria
