salome_meca: a platform for sharing know-how…

AsterStudy | SALOME Users' Day | March 27th 2018

Leverages the existing SALOME

platform

Relies on powerful existing

solvers

Brings everything together in

dedicated skill modules

Mechanical solvers

SALOME generic platform

Skill modules

Edyos


… and transferring it to the engineer with quality

assurance procedures

Calcul au séisme des barrages en béton

Propagation de fissure dans les briques de graphite des réacteurs UK

Maîtrise du risque de fracturation de la zone Haute Activité de CIGEO

Comportement au séisme des râteliers de stockage de combustible

Fissuration des culasses des moteurs diesel de secours du parc 900MWe

Comportement des enceintes de confinement des réacteurs nucléaires

salome_meca: a platform built with end-users

Need of a user friendly global study environment in mechanics

With easy access to all SALOME services

Gathering users’ feedbacks

(2014-2015)

Define specifications

(late 2015)



First question:

how do we make

users happy?

Second question:

how do we achieve it?

Creating a whole new GUI for code_aster:

AsterStudy

Collaborative work with EDF

SALOME team to build the data

model and enable interaction

with SALOME services

Internal development for core

engine of the module

External development for GUI

… and used daily since September 2017



Third question:

what’s next?

More features with more SALOME interactions:

2017

2018

2019

Major features to

come

Parameters

calibration

Graphical tools

for study control

Interactive

computations

management

Key features:

- unified interface,

- automatic input/output management,

- strong interaction between mesh and data

settings,

- easy checkpoint restart.

OpenTURNS

YACS



Conclusion

| 16

A win-win integration

AsterStudy made possible thanks to SALOME

Improvements benefit to other modules currently in development

Improves the robustness of SALOME by challenging lesser used

modules
