Salome-Meca 2018 for Windows is available for download. This version includes AsterStudy 2018.0 and Code_Aster stable 13.6 and testing 14.2 binaries for Windows.
The interface does not change much since 2017 version and It should be possible to follow series of tutorials already available on the Web.
Note that this version is based on Salome 8.3.0 while Linux version uses Salome 8.5.0, but some products such as MED-3.3.1 have been upgraded in the package to make it compatible with new versions of Code_Aster and AsterStudy. Please read the FAQ and report any issues.
Code_Aster for Windows 
Could not get the binary files. Where to get it?

Whenever I try to edit a command file in text mode, I get an unexpected error. I’ve tried changing my editor preferences to use an external editor for “text stage edition” only to get a “text editor error” message.
Error details (with default editor options) are as follows:

CAW often crashes during start-up. I can only fix this by rebooting my computer (Windows 7). I’ve attached a screenshot of the crash: https://imgur.com/ZzoDWxu

Hi,
I am getting this error message when trying to mesh a cube (my first attempt at using Salome-Meca apart from running, successfully, forma02a so the installation is, apparently, ok):
“Salome exception: “Can’t load server meshers plugin library”
This happens both with Salome for Windows 8.3.0 and Salome-Meca 2018 for Windows.
Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, maybe firewall or antivirus ? If an issue like this happen also with Salome 8.3.0, you may also get help from Salome forum

Hello,
I often get the following error when switching to Paravis:
ACCESS VIOLATION at address 0x0000000000000000 during ‘READ’ operation
I then need to close the project and when I reopen Paravis I need to manually display again all windows and toolbars.
Except that it’s working pretty well, thanks!

Yes, this happen when Paravis module is activated after AsterStudy module

Thank you. The problem was solved after reinstalling the software (both Salome and Salome-Meca), running run_salome.bat as administrator and creating firewall exception rules for all networks.

Salome LIBBATCH module uses “copy” command on Windows and “cp -r” on Linux to copy input/output files (see CommunicationProtocolSH.cxx line 62) but “copy” on Windows is not able to correctly copy directories, xcopy should be used instead. You can report this to Salome team if you wish

Hi all,
Great work on providing the Salome Meca suite for windows.
I’ve received the error below. It seems to occur during the calculation of results, or writing out of results.
This occurs once my run has a larger number of steps in it. For a smaller number of steps, it is able to successfully complete. I’m guessing I’m running into some sort of memory limit

Go to “History View” and then Menu -> Operation -> “Export Case”. It will save the necessary files and an “export file” that can be used to run Code_Aster outside of Salome-Meca. If something goes wrong during “Save”, your study can be restored from an empty AsterStudy instance by importing the “export file” using Menu -> Operation -> “Import Case”

Dear colleagues,
First of all, thank you for making Salome-Meca available for Windows.
I installed the 2018 version and it is working fine, but when I tried to open a shell session it gave me nothing, not even an error message, even after setting DEBUG=1 in set_env.bat and erasing the .config directory as suggested in the FAQ.
Is this a feature meant to work at Windows?
Best regards and thanks for any answer.

This feature does not seem to work on windows. You may try to open a cmd prompt and manually source files “set_env.bat” and “env_launch.bat”

Thank you very much.
That’s sad news. I was hoping to play with Astk just as I do in Linux, since there are all the Tcl/Tk resources bundled.
But no bad feelings, the command line and AsterStudy still works.

Dear CAW people,
I tried to use the multi-stage feature in Salome-Meca 2018 and it is behaving like this:
1. When I run the Stage1, its OK (having clicked ‘reutilizable’).
2. When I try to run only the Stage2, even after putting the ‘check/blue’ sign on Stage1, the running ends with an error and no result is produced.
3. The only way I can run Stage2 properly is running Stage1 again simultaneously.
This problem doesn’t happen in Salome-Meca 2018 in my home Linux machine, where I can run shell sessions and ASTK in interactive mode (showing the so desired Python prompt).
When I try to run ASTK on my work Windows10 machine it complains about permission issues. Is it possible to make this package more ‘portable’ in order to have this feature working as second choice? Just in case AsterStudy show some odd behaviour.
Best regards.

Dear colleagues,
What’s the meaning of these annoying messages that keep jumping on my screen when I run ‘as_run exportfile’ at command line? The window says:
python.exe PID=xxxx
injecting hooks into PID=yyyyy
FAILED code=-730:0x000….0005
I already did the execution of ‘set_env’ and ‘env_launch’ scripts to set up the environment, so I believe it has nothing to do with paths and libraries.
Any hint is welcome.
Thank you all very much in advance.
