In this post we will have a look at a modal frequency response analysis. We will find the frequency response of the structure under a pressure load and a nodal force with a phase lag. A modal damping is also applied. This case is taken from a publicy available example on the internet, but the original … Continue reading Nastran to Code_Aster: modal frequency response

Salome-Meca 2017: AsterStudy module
With the latest release (available in the Download section) of Salome-Meca 2017 for Windows it is possible to graphically realize a finite element calculation using Code_Aster as a solver and Salome as both as a preprocessor and postprocessor. While this is still a preliminary work, is it a big step forward in the Code_Aster usage … Continue reading Salome-Meca 2017: AsterStudy module
ParaView Med for Windows to open Code_Aster results
As demonstrated in a previous post, Salome Paravis module can be used to import Code_Aster rmed results on Windows. Some people showed interest to a standalone ParaView version with Med support as an alternative to Salome. Although official ParaView does not include Med format, the fact of the matter is that it is possible to … Continue reading ParaView Med for Windows to open Code_Aster results
Code_Aster Windows performances
This post presents some performance comparisons which involve Code_Aster Windows. Based on official performance Code_Aster tests, we compare time consumption using different way to run Code_Aster. For each test, the same hardware is used: i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, cache size : 3072 KB Mem: 16GB Three comparisons are made: GCC/openblas vs Intel/MKL on Linux Mingw64/openblas … Continue reading Code_Aster Windows performances
Nastran to Code_Aster : normal modes
In this post we will have a look at a simple linear modal analysis. This case is taken from a publicy available example on the internet, but the original source is probably this one, for all due credit. To read this article one will need some knowledge both in Nastran and in Code_Aster. The translation between Nastran and Code_Aster … Continue reading Nastran to Code_Aster : normal modes
