Did you know that Salome-Meca could be used to create mesh and export it to several Formats such as GMSH? I got the question several times, so I decided to make a quick video to answer it ;-) Here’s the video: That’s all for today, hope you understand better now how to export your mesh […]
Nonlinear Hertz Contact Tutorial with Salome-Meca 2018
A new video tutorial for Salome Meca full of new stuffs is coming your way! Nonlinear Hertz Contact Tutorial I did in the past a post about the Hertz contact… 4 years ago wow… time flies ;-) Time to show you how to do that with a proper axisymmetric model in Salome-Meca 2018. This is […]
[Salome Paravis Tutorial] Changing the Color Map
The color map… For those who already know me and read my articles since a long time, you know probably all the good I think about engineers focusing ONLY on colors… If you don’t know what I am talking about, read this article: From stress color painting to real FEA So…Why am I talking about […]
[Code_Aster Tutorial] Simulating a 2D shell Beam in Salome-Meca
In this tutorial, we will look into simulating a 2D shell beam in Salome-Meca. What you will learn here: – How to Create a 2D beam model – How to set correctly Code_Aster for simulating 2D shell – How to post process results and get stress on the thickness If you want to know how […]
[Salome Video Tutorial] Automating Geometry Creation with Python
This week I am going into one of the most interesting aspects of using open-source FEA, the fact that you can automate fully geometry and mesh creation using Python! Yes, by automating, I mean that you can create a script and let it make all the hard work to create your geometry model from zero. […]
[Salome-Meca Tutorial] How to perform Stress Linearization in Code_Aster
If you ever have tried to analyze pressure vessels, you know that there is ONE feature that you absolutely need to be able to use… Stress linearization! Why? The short answer is that you can’t extract the bending stresses and other kind of stresses you need to check your model against the ASME code section […]
