Code_Aster & Salomé-Méca Training Course

This training course introduces you to the Code_Aster and Salomé-Méca environments for carrying out finite element numerical simulations. The course materials cover, in particular:

• The complete simulation workflow, from geometry to post-processing;
• The creation of geometries and meshes;
• Mechanical and thermal calculations;
• The analysis and printing of results;
• The main modelling options available in Code_Aster.

ㅤ

Recommended level: basic knowledge of continuum mechanics and the finite element method.
