Image  Welcome to CAELinux.com, the website dedicated to the computer aided engineering Linux distribution CAElinux.

Just insert the CAELinux LiveDVD in your computer to turn it into a professionnal CAE workstation: no installation is required!

Based on the open-source CAE softwares Salomé, Code_Aster, Code_Saturne and OpenFOAM , you can load your CAD geometry in Salomé and start partitionning and meshing your problem in just 5 minutes.

Then you can simulate incredibly complex physics with the open-source FE & CFD solvers Code_Aster, Code-Saturne, OpenFOAM & Elmer: non-linear thermo-mechanics, coupled fluid-structure dynamics, sismic / non-linear explicit dynamics, contacts, visco-plasticity, fluid dynamics, heat exchange, convection heat transfer and radiation, electro-magnetcis in other words nearly all physics problem can be addressed with the integrated solvers!! Then reload your results files in post-processing applications like Salomé, GMSH, Visit, or Paraview to visualize your data in 3D... And don't forget all these features are based on open-source / free softwares, so now you don't have to pay for any expensive licenses.

See our Screenshots section to have an overview of what you can do with CAELinux LiveDVD.

 The features / programs included in CAELinux 2007 distribution are the following:

  • LiveDVD distribution based on PClinuxOS 2007 (updated) with Kernel 2.6.22.17
  • Runs directly from the DVD without any installation
  • Optional installation to hard disk in 3 easy steps
  • Dedicated to CAE and more specifically to finite element simulation
  • Includes the integrated 3D pre-/ post / FE solver package SALOME_MECA 2008 (GPL, developped by EDF, France) which  represents the fusion of Salome v3.2.9 GUI and Code-Aster v9.2 finite element solver (updated, GPL)
  • Offers a complete solution for CFD with OpenFOAM 1.4.1 , Gerris , Code-Saturne and Openflower solvers
  • Contains several 2D & 3D CAD/pre/post packages: Paraview, Visit, OpenDX, Netgen, Tetgen, GMSH v2 (updated), Salome v.3.2.9 & QCad
  • Includes other simulation softwares for multiphysics simulation: Elmer v5.3 (updated), Calculix v1.7, Tochnog, Impact (updated), MBDyn (updated)
  • Offers several scientific tools like GNU Octave (+ Koctave GUI & Forge), R & Rkward, Scilab, wxMaxima and a full set of developpement tools / compilers.
  • Integrated tools to install 3D accelerated drivers, to setup Wifi & Internet connections and even to remaster your own copy of the DVD or install the OS to an USB Flash drive.

New: 

CAELinux has been selected by EDF to be part of the official distributors of SALOME-MECA.

To use SALOME-MECA on your own Linux distribution, you can now download the stand-alone SALOME-MECA package from our download section.
