Introduction tutorial: general use of Salome & Code_Aster

This is the first tutorial on the use of Salomé & Code_Aster. The example case study treated here is a linear statics analysis of a piston.

In this tutorial, you will learn to:

  1. import & mesh a STEP geometry in Salomé
  2. create & edit the options of a FE study in Code_Aster
  3. solve the FE problem
  4. load results in Salomé & post-process the data

Duration approx. 30 min.

Salome: Geometry & meshing tutorial 1

This is a tutorial on the use of Salome for 3D geometry modelling (CAD-like) & meshing.

Topics covered: 2D sketch, extrusion, boolean operations, array of features, partitionning, global & local mesh definition, mesh quality check, ...

Duration approx. 60 min.

JML Tutorials (Salome & Code-Aster)

Thanks to the kind contribution of Mr Jean-Marc LICHTLE (original french tutorials) and Mr Laurent MALOD-PANISSET (translation to english), there are now 4 completely new beginners tutorials available in both french and english.

For questions / comments about these tutorials, feel free to mail to the authors:

jean-marc [dot] lichtle [at] gadz [dot] com (french and german)

laluciol [at] club-internet [dot] fr (english)

Note that these tutorials are also available at www.mirabellug.org

Please note that at the moment only the first two tutorials are translated in english.

P. Carrico's Tutorials

Another great contribution to Code-Aster tutorials by P. Carrico. These tutorials will give you a more in-depth and detailed view of the possibilities of Code-Aster and other related tools (Gibi, Salome).

For comments, please contact the author at:

paul [dot] carrico [at] free [dot] fr

Please note that :

  1. These tutorials are under continuous development and any contribution or feedback is welcome. At the moment, these tutorials are available in French only, but translation is on the way,
  2. New !! An HTML version of the tutorials in now online HERE with the possibility to automatically translate the documents from French to English or German.
  3. All the calculations were performed under 8.3 release of Code Aster - for the 9.0 one, you can use the automatic traducteur/translator menu that works fine (tested for all the tutorials) ... but you've to adapt the .export file for the new release.


Tutorial 1: Post-processing / Post-traitements

In this tutorial, you will learn how to post-process & visualize the results of a Code-Aster simulation with external tools like GMSH, GIBI, Salome or GRACE.

Tutorial 2: Cyclic symmetry

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model & analyze a cyclic symmetric part in Code-Aster.

Tutorial 3: Thermo-mechanics

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model & analyze a thermo-mechanical problem in Code-Aster (using two different meshes : tetrahedra based mesh for the thermal calculation and hexahedra based one for the mechanical calculation).

Tutorial 4: Shells

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model & analyze a linear statics problem of a shell structure with Code-Aster (using the upper skin, the lower one and the middle surface to perform the linear static calculation).

Tutorial 5: Plasticity

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model & analyze a nonlinear statics problem of a 3D structure subjected to plastic deformations with Code-Aster.

Advanced Examples

A set of advanced FE modelling examples with Salome & Code-Aster is proposed here. These archives contains all the geometric models & input files but are not commented thoroughly as they are intended to serve as a basis for specialized analysis.

The topics convered by these examples are: plastic deformations, thermo-mechanics, contacts, modal analysis, composite materials and FE modelling of assemblies!!
