Abstract: The purpose of this work is to develop software with a graphical interface for stress analysis based on the OpenFOAM software environment. A comparative description of the available software applications to solve this problem is given and its relevance is determined. The tools to achieve the goal are defined. The diagram of the structure and logic of the application is presented. The result of the study is the graphical application for carrying out stress analysis based on the OpenFOAM software environment. The program was tested on the example of one of the training tasks included in OpenFOAM. The provisions defining the scientific novelty of the research and its practical significance are formulated and a link is provided for downloading the program from the GitHub service. The results of the work are summed up and further research prospects are identified.

Keywords: numerical simulation, continuum mechanics, stress analysis, OpenFOAM, open source software, graphical user interface, Python programming language, PyQt4 library.
