CODE_ASTER in SALOME-MECCA

Hello,

I am currently trying to run a model in CODE_ASTER but I am having a few problems running it. I have done a few tutorials in SALOME-MECCA and this seems to be running fine. Is the functionality of CODE_ASTER in SALOME-MECCA limited? There only seem to be the 4 wizards availble, can more complex models be run? Is it possible to run transient solutions in SALOME-MECCA? So far i have only seen steady state models created. I am also having problems trying to create a model with 2 materials. Is this possible? If so does it have to be a single mesh or can you use to seperate meshes?

I am trying to create a thermal-hydaulic model, is this possible in SALOME-MECCA?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the example, I have taken a look at it but don't understand how you know where each marerial is being assigned to the mesh. Is it dependent on the order the groups were created? e.g. first group gets the first material assigned to it.

Thanks

Hello,

You will need to create named groups in Salome that distinguish each region for each material (say "Steel" and "Plastic"). When you export the model as a med file, the elements of named groups will be in it. Then in the comm file you can assign specific material properties to each of these named groups for Code-Aster to use.

Thanks for the reply, I sorted this problem yesterday. Is it possible to do transient solutions using SALOME-MECCA, will the comm file need editing in EFICAS?
