This version is compatible with all Linux OS as it is distributed via a Scibian9 singularity container. One may even consider using it on Windows10/11 if WSL2 is installed.

Installation

  • Install singularity v3. For more information regarding this process, have a look at singularity’s website :
  • Dowload the salome_meca 2021 container (use the right click and "save as" ) :
  • Use this command in a terminal in order to prepare the container’s environment and generate the launcher
    singularity run --app install salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9.sif

The platforme is already installed within the container, no need to install anything else as all the prerequisites are in the container

  • Launching salome_meca 2021 using the singularity container :
    ./salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9
  • salome_meca uses GPU acceleration and expects a Nvidia-like device. Yet, on may use software rendering instead using such option:
    ./salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9 --soft

A noteworthy novelty of this version is the ANSYS mesh format now available within MEDConverter, a tool for mesh conversion into the MED formatdifferent formats.
