Code_Aster
is a software for finite element analysis and numerical simulation in structural mechanics and multiphysics.
Code_Aster feature:
- Type FEM : Linear & non-linear static / dynamic, thermal & fluid analysis
It was developed by the French company Electricite de France (EDF), for the study and maintenance of plants and power grids. He was released under the GNU General Public License in October 2001. Most documentation is available in French.
Code_Aster is a solver or processing engine, i.e. it does not include preprocessing and post - processing tools. This means that meshing and presentation of the solutions must be realized using other softwares for instance SALOME and ParaView respectively. In this regard, the version SALOME-MECA allows full functionality.
Their
applications span multiple disciplines: mechanical, thermal
analysis, hydrodynamics, metallurgy, hydration,
drying ... Stationary or transient conditions, and both linear
and nonlinear processes can be modelled. It also includes specific tools for fatigue, deformation, fracture, contact, geotechnics, porous materials, etc.
Code_Aster contains 1500000 lines of source code, mostly in Fortran
and Python, and is constantly being developed, updated and improved with
new models. The qualitative standards required by the
nuclear industry have provided improvements to reach the highest levels
of functionality and accuracy, which have been
validated by independent comparisons with analytical and experimental
results.
The software is provided with about 2000 test, dedicated to elementary grade, and are useful as examples. Code_Aster
documentation includes over 14000 pages. Most of this documentation is only in French language.
