Tutorial for Code_Aster and Salome_Meca - Episode 01

[@academicalisthenics]

This is super cool! Thanks for showing how to do this step by step!

[@petermueller8073]

Thank you very much! Very good!

[@Panvil]

Very helpful as a first introduction ! Thank you.

[@bushfires1760]

Thank you for the info. Just one thing... the load should be 0.01N not 1N

[@aetherengineering7387]

Yes, you are right :)

[@osmanfb1]

thanks for the very helpful video. I was able to follow it through.

[@amrmasoud5580]

Thanks Dr I ask you, is the Code_Aster and Salome_Meca one software or 2? I ask you also, can it model cyclic behaviour of RC elements with considering PINCHING? Please tell me how to download it for windows interface>? Thanks

[@rudy3197]

Could you explain how to do a mechanical analysis with thermal load?

[@aetherengineering7387]

You can see tutorials 4 to 6 for steady-state thermo-mechanical analysis

Grazie mille.

Video è fantastico.

Thank you for the video it's very helpful. I have one question, for meshing you chose Quad-Dominated but the meshes came out as tetrahedral mesh, why is that?

[@aetherengineering7387]

Thanks! It's a limitation of the "NETGEN 1D-2D-3D" algorithm. In this case it was selected before it is quicker to setup but we recommend selecting a specific algorithm for every step like NETGEN 3D, NETGEN 2D, Wire Discretization for example. for this specific case the best would be "Hexahedron (i,j,k)" for 3D and "Quadrangle Mapping" for 2D if you want to end up with hexahedral elements

Thanks a lot. Please can you make a video for using general beam section (not only rectangular or circular). Maybe using gmsh

[@aetherengineering7387]

Thank you. Do you mean a model with 3D elements like in this example or a model with 1D Beam elements with an arbitrary cross section?

[@peeolo]

@@aetherengineering7387 1d frame element. I'm a humble civil engineer.... I like use bending moment and shear force. It's a little difficult use tension of brick or plate, whit eurocodes for example

[@aetherengineering7387]

@@peeolo Ok it can be certainly done. It is fairly easy if you can calculate the section properties a priori. A more advanced option is to define the mesh of the cross section and let Code_Aster calculate everything for you, but perhaps this is a more advanced tutorial to be done later in the future.
