MUMPS
MUMPS is a library which provides a powerful sparse direct parallel solver. It is available in Code_Aster’s linear solvers both for sequential and parallel use.
MUMPS website : http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/
See also this page for a modified branch, for use in Code_Aster.
METIS
METIS was developed by George Karypis, University of Minnesota. It is a group of tools (including one for mesh partitioning). Aster is used in the renumbering algorithm only.
Version used: 5.1.0

MED and HDF5 libraries
MED is the Data Echange Module used by Code_Aster and based on the HDF library.
- MED/HDF can read and save data in a format which is portable between machines of different architectures.
- They are required during Code_Aster compiling.
MED is distributed under LGPL license. The sources are available here.
Version used: 4.1.0
HOMARD
The Homard software adapts 2D/3D meshes for finite elements thanks to refinement and unrefinement.
Version used: 11.12
See HOMARD website.
MISS3D
MISS3D is not included in the aster-full package.
Soil-Structure Interactions (ISS) and Sol-Fluid-Structure (ISFS) involved in buildings dynamics or in arch dams, can be resolved with frequency coupling in Code_Aster.
MISS3D (called via the Code_Aster command CALC_MISS) is a code with integral equations (Green functions) and sub-structuring from ECP / LMSSMat .
