N2 - This paper presents a systematic survey of open source multiphysics frameworks in the en- gineering domains. These domains share many commonalities despite the diverse application areas. A thorough search for the available frameworks with both academic and industrial ori- gins has revealed numerous candidates. Considering key characteristics such as project size, maturity and visibility, we selected Elmer, OpenFOAM and Salome for a detailed analysis. All the public documentation for these tools has been manually collected and inspected. Based on the analysis, we built a feature model for multiphysics in engineering, which captures the commonalities and variability in the domain. We in turn validated the resulting model via two other tools; Kratos by manual inspection, and OOFEM by means of expert validation by domain experts.
Keywords: Multiphysics; Multiscale; Modelling and Simulation; Domain Analysis; Feature Model
