Salome-Meca official version is only available for Linux. We provide a port for Windows users, freely available in our download page. This product includes AsterStudy module. We will continue to offer a free version for the next releases.
Code_Aster and MPI parallelism
The Salome-Meca official EDF package for Linux available for free on download page is shipped without Code_Aster MPI parallelism. With MPI parallelism active, you may get benefits from multi-core cpu and reduce computation time.
We provide Code_Aster binaries with MPI parallelism for both Linux and Windows. These versions may be available as binary package for Linux workstation depending to your operating system or may be rebuild in your cluster taking account of a special configuration. For Windows, MPI parallelism is available in premium offer.
Theses binaries may be used standalone or fully integrated in the official Salome-Meca asterstudy module.
