=== Salome-Meca Tutorials by Kees Wouters ===

'''Using partitions & compounds in Salome-Meca'''

When you need to apply different material properties to different parts of a mesh, the most efficient method is to create partitions in your model to produce a so-called compound object. This tutorials explains you how to do it in details.

Includes: 
* Shell model preparation in Salomé
* Partitionning
* Meshing

'''Analysis of a simple sheet metal spring construction'''

Includes:
* Shell model preparation
