1. Presentation#
1.1. General framework#
Salomé is the EDF R&D pre-post processing and code coupling platform. It is organized around modules that provide different services (see Figure 1.1-a). So:
geometry generation services are provided by module GEOM;
the mesh services are provided by module SMESH;
post-treatment services are provided by module VISU;
code coupling services are provided by module YACS.

In the same way, the integration of the Europlexus mechanical resolution code into Salomé involves a module: module EUROPLEXUS from Salome-Meca. The purpose of this document is to present its functionalities.
1.2. The module EUROPLEXUS#
When the user clicks on the icon representing the Salome-Meca Europlexus module, these specific icons appear in the graphical interface (Figure 1.2-a).
Study manager: this is a study manager for calculation cases with only a command file and a mesh file as input.
Definition of solvers this is the definition of servers and executables of the Europlexus code.
These features are available:
through the menu;
by the icons that represent them;
by context menu: when created, objects associated with the Europlexus module appear in Salome’s object tree. By selecting these objects and, by right-clicking, a particular menu dedicated to the nature of the selected object is displayed.
In the following, these various functionalities will be detailed.
