|
| | SALOME : The Open Source Integration Platform for Numerical Simulation |
|
 | What is SALOME? | SALOME is a free software that provides a generic platform for Pre and Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components available as free software.
It is open-source (LGPL), and you can download both the sourcecode and the executables from this site.
Salome Platform:
- Supports interoperability between CAD modeling and computation software (CAD-CAE link)
- Makes easier the integration of new components on heterogeneous systems for numerical computation
- Sets the priority to multi-physics coupling between computation software
- Provides a generic user interface, user-friendly and efficient, which helps to reduce the costs and delays of carrying out the studies
- Reduces training time to the specific time for learning the software solution which has been based on this platform
- All functionalities are accessible through the programmatic integrated Python console
|
|
| SALOME Main Functions |  | - Create/modify, import/export (IGES, STEP), repair/clean CAD models
- Mesh CAD elements, check mesh quality, import/export mesh (MED, UNV, ASCII)
- Handle physical properties and quantities attached to geometrical items
- Perform computation using one or more external solvers (coupling)
- Display computation results (scalar, vectorial)
- Manage studies (creation, save, reload)
|
|
|
| SALOME Technical Choices | The SALOME platform complies with the following standards and rules:
- Portability:
- Unicity of the source code
- Support for Linux, Unix
- Open Source Platform and capability to:
- Define proprietary or commercial solutions
- Integrate existing components which can be non Open Source
- User-Friendliness, performance and evolvability:
- Shared Common Look&Feel
- Size of models, multi-CPU and parallel computations
- Modularity / interchangeability of components
|
|
 | - Adhesion to standards:
- Operating System (Linux)
- Software Architecture (CORBA)
- Format to exchange CAD models (STEP, IGES)
- High graphical performance (OpenGL)
|
|
|
- Adhesion to Open Source:
- Distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL Licence
- Developpement and distribution on http://www.salome-platform.org
