The current article presents an open-source toolbox for solid mechanics and fluid-solid interaction simulations based on the finite volume library OpenFOAM. The object-oriented toolbox design is outlined, where emphasis has been given to code use, comprehension, maintenance and extension. The toolbox capabilities are demonstrated on a number of representative test problems, where comparisons are given with finite element solutions.enComputational solid mechanicsFluid-solid interactionsFinite volume methodOpenFOAMOpen-sourceC++Journal Article1452019-07-24https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
