Code_Aster & Salomé-Méca Training Course
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to code_aster and the Salomé-Méca environment, covering the entire workflow of a study: geometry definition, meshing, modelling, calculation and post-processing of results. The course content, which focuses on linear mechanics and thermal analysis, is reinforced by numerous practical exercises based on real-world examples (perforated plate, pressurised cylinder, bent pipe).
Recommended level: basic knowledge of continuum mechanics and the finite element method.
