General Information<\/h2> \n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n \n

The Code_Aster Course is taught online. It has 60 teaching hours to be completed in 3 months. Students who successfully complete the course will be issued the corresponding diploma. <\/p> \n \n

The teaching material is in English. PDF manuals, video tutorials, and practical exercises are provided. Students have access to an online platform 24 hours\/7 days a week, and a professor with accredited professional experience in this field, who will tutor the course and answer questions. <\/p> \n \n

All didactic material (manuals, videos, and tutorials) will be available from day one so that each student can work at their own pace.<\/p> \n \n

The course structure is as follows:\u2022 11 chapters of theory and solved exercises.\u2022 Mandatory proposed exercises according to the competencies learned in each chapter.\u2022 Optional proposed exercises to increase the student’s level.<\/p> \n \n

Code_Aster<\/em> is a software<\/em> for finite element analysis and numerical simulation in structural and multiphysics mechanics. Code_Aster is open-source and free. It can be downloaded for free from the website: www.code-aster.org <\/p> \n\r\n

Description<\/h2> \n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n \n

Aimed at:<\/h3> \n \n

Engineers, technical engineers, physics graduates, scientists, professors, students, and in general, anyone interested in learning FEM simulation software for structural and thermal analysis.<\/p> \n \n

Objectives:<\/h3> \n \n

The objective of this course is to acquire a basic-intermediate level of knowledge for the simulation of mechanical and thermal CAE problems by using the Code_Aster software.<\/p> \n \n

This course is designed for individuals who want to learn how to use the Code_Aster program without prior knowledge of the program.<\/p> \n \n

General description of Code_Aster software:<\/strong><\/h3> \n \n

Code-Aster is an OpenSource simulation software using the Finite Element Method (FEM). It was developed by the French company \u00c9lectricit\u00e9 de France (EDF) for the study and maintenance of power plants and electrical grids. It was released under the GNU General Public License in October 2001. <\/p> \n \n

Among others, the range of problems it can solve includes:\u2022 Static and dynamic analysis.\u2022 Analysis of linear problems.\u2022 Analysis of nonlinear material (95 constitutive laws) and geometric problems.\u2022 3D problems with conventional and reduced integration finite elements.\u2022 2D analysis with plate models and shell elements.\u2022 1D analysis with beam elements.<\/p> \n \n

Additionally, the Code-Aster software is integrated into a software package under the name SalomeMeca, which includes Pre-Processing (Salome Platform) and Post-Processing (Paraview) software, to facilitate and streamline the preparation and resolution of simulations.<\/p> \n\r\n
