What is SALOME

SALOME is an open-source software that provides a generic Pre- and Post-Processing platform for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components.

Current time with seconds. SALOME is a cross-platform solution. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL license. You can download both the source code and the executables from this site.

How can SALOME be used?

SALOME can be used as a standalone application for generation of the CAD model, its preparation for the numerical calculations and post-processing of the calculation results.

SALOME can also be used as a platform for integration of the external third-party numerical codes to produce a new application for the full life-cycle management of CAD models.

SALOME core features

• Supports interoperability between CAD modeling and computation software (CAD-CAE link).

• Facilitates integration of new components into heterogeneous systems for the numerical computation.

• Sets priority to the multi-physics coupling between computation softwares.

• Provides generic, user-friendly and efficient, user interface, which helps to reduce the costs and delays of carrying out the studies.

• Reduces training time to the specific time for learning the software solution based on this platform.

• Provides access to all functionalities via the integrated Python console.

What can you do with SALOME?

• Create, modify, import and export (IGES, STEP, BREP, .), repair and clean CAD models.

• Generate mesh for CAD models; edit meshes; check mesh quality; import and export mesh data (MED, UNV, DAT, STL, .).

• Handle physical properties and quantities attached to geometrical items.

• Perform computation using one or more external solvers (coupling).

• Display computation results (scalar, vectorial data).

• Manage studies (create, save, reload, .).
