Ok, in the previous posts I showed to you how to install Linux Ubuntu 16.04 inside VirtualBox, and then I showed to you a few basic commands to use the linux terminal and workspaces…
Now is the time to finally install Salome-Meca 2017!
Open-source FEA: How to Install Salome Meca 2017:
Ok, if you followed all the steps, you should have now the new Salome-Meca 2017 installed on your Linux 16.04 distribution inside your VirtualBox ;-)
Now… you just need to learn how to use Salome-Meca 2017 to actually analyse some mechanical systems, right?
I will soon release a simple tutorial to show you the process… (probably next week ;-) )
In the mean time, let me know in the comments what you think about Open-Source FEA…

By the way you don’t have to write in terminal to launch salome-meca. You may click on icon on your desktop or run it from dash as well.
Pasting under linux is done by combination of ctrl+shift+v and you have to use shift as well when copying.
If you run linux under vbox, run installation of guest additions. I had some problems with resolution and displaying models in Salome’s viewport.
Great tutorial, I really enjoy and promote the work with open source tools (CalculiX, Salome, Netgen…), and was looking for a way to learn Code_Aster, but as you say, could be a little tricky, worst for a Windows user. As soon as I can I will install Ubuntu on my Windows machine to follow the tutorials and compare against CalculiX.
Regards!
