FM Global | Insurance | 5600 | $5.3B | United States | OpenCFD | OpenFOAM | Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) | 2008 | n/a |
In 2008, FM Global developed and used OpenFOAM from vendor OpenCFD as a core Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) capability for its fire-safety engineering research. The effort in the United States centered on industrial-scale fire growth and suppression modelling and explicitly implemented the OpenFOAM-based solver FireFOAM to model combustion, heat transfer, and suppression interactions.
FireFOAM was configured as a customized solver within the OpenFOAM framework to support large meshes and production CFD workloads, with engineering attention on solver configuration, mesh handling, and parallel I/O. FM Global worked with national laboratories to scale I/O and high performance computing performance, optimizing parallel data output and HPC parallelism to enable longer duration and higher fidelity simulations.
Operational scope covered FM Global research teams executing fire growth and suppression scenarios for industrial facilities, embedding FireFOAM into existing engineering workflows for scenario generation and analysis. Governance focused on in-house development and collaborative validation with national labs to verify scalability and to improve fire-safety engineering outcomes and simulation scalability.

General Motors | Automotive | 162000 | $187.4B | United States | OpenCFD | OpenFOAM | Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) | 2018 | n/a |
In 2018, General Motors implemented OpenFOAM for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to support automotive aerodynamics and CAE process improvements in the United States. GM publicly presented the adoption and integration work at the OpenFOAM conference, positioning the project as part of enterprise CAE tooling for aerodynamic simulation.
The implementation embedded OpenFOAM into enterprise CAE workflows and HPC toolchains, with emphasis on solver execution, batch simulation orchestration, and automated preprocessing and postprocessing pipelines. OpenFOAM was configured to run at scale across shared compute resources, and its solvers were used to standardize CFD case setups for aerodynamic analysis.
Integrations focused on connecting OpenFOAM-driven simulation workflows to CAE data stores and HPC scheduling systems, enabling structured job submission and results retrieval within engineering toolchains. Operational coverage targeted automotive aerodynamics teams and related CAE engineering functions in the United States.
Governance activities documented by GM included formalizing CAE process steps to incorporate OpenFOAM case validation, version control for simulation setups, and staged rollout through engineering groups prior to broader adoption. Outcomes and implementation details were presented at the OpenFOAM conference, illustrating GM's approach to embedding OpenFOAM into enterprise CFD practice.
