2 Plan The OPEN CASCADE Company The SALOME platform The SALOME production model 2

3 About OPEN CASCADE A services company 100 team members specialized in software engineering for scientific and technical applications Open Source components 20 years of experience software development International organization We invest in R&D in technology CAD Services STEP CAD/FE Integration 3

4 Plan The OPEN CASCADE Company The SALOME platform The SALOME production model 4

5 INDUSTRIAL NEED SOLVER A SOLVER B Post- Pre- Post- Pre- Processor Processor Processor Processor To increase efficiency to build analysis model Adapted to the company know-how up to date Graphical User Interface To enable multi-physics coupling Share/re-use data and tools Build computational schema Use resources from grid and cluster 5

6 SALOME Platform Open Source platform to built industrial simulation platform from CAD to result treatment CAD System CAD Interface CAD Modeling Idealization Cleaning Healing Meshing Attributes Data Sets Supervision Solver Visualization Post The derived product from the Open Source SALOME platform may be either private, commercial or Open Source itself 6

7 Use case examples To build a dedicated Pre/Post for a solver To build a dedicated CAD/FE solution Company know-how integration Re-use of existing proven components (solver, mesher, ) Data interoperability with company CAD system RAD to integrate company numerical components and to derive dedicated in-house simulation platforms. 7

8 CAD link, CAD for FE CAD Data exchange Standard formats (import/export) : STEP, IGES, STL, VRML Ready for commercial plug-in interface component : CATIA, EUCLID ACIS, PARASOLID Shape Healing CAD repair and idealization Integrated CAD basic modeler CAD mesher module CAD/MESH associativity Physical properties assigned on CAD model Copyright Cedrat / EADS 8

9 Supervision ANALYSIS STUDIES Design and run of computational schemas All SALOME functions are available from TUI (python) COUPLED/MULTI-PHYSICS PROBLEMS Exchange data model : MED Design and run of computational schemas Support of distributed computing OPTIMIZATION To drive modeling parameters according to analysis results 9

10 Technical choices STANDARDS Operating system (OS independent) Software architecture Exchange data format STEP Iges OPEN SOURCE Development environment : Use of Open Source industrial software components SALOME architecture enable reuse of existing proven software components (private, commercial or Open Source) 10

11 Plan The OPEN CASCADE Company The SALOME platform The SALOME production model 11

12 SALOME production model Partnership Open Source Technical skills of 9 initial Partners Structural analysis CFD Acoustic Hydrodynamic Neutronic Thermo-hydraulic Electro-technical CEM EFFORT / 2 ans (Sept 2000-Dec 2002) 540 man.month (23 man/month) OPEN CASCADE company To drive the production model To promote the SALOME platform To provide and support industrial version 12

13 WHAT S ON R&D SALOME2 project (FR/ (FR/ RNTL2002) RNTL2002) R&D roadmap International evangelization 20 partners EUGIS project (EU/ (EU/ 6e 6e PCRD PCRD partners) partners) GRID COMPUTING To support GRID COMPUTING in SALOME INTUITION project (EU/ (EU/ 6e 6e PCRD PCRD partners) partners) VIRTUAL REALITY To apply Virtual Reality features to analyse simulation results INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM [CEA-ANDRA-EDF] ALLIANCES project Michel ROCHON nd FENET 22nd FENET ANNUAL ANNUAL INDUSTRY INDUSTRY MEETING MEETING Integration Integration of of Engineering Engineering Analysis Analysis into into the the Business Business Process Process 13

14 Open Source TARGET : DISSEMINATION, to speed up SALOME adoption more users : to increase quality level of the industrial version To speed up debugging : faster, cheaper To enlarge service request : minimize pre-sale effort more contributors : R&D activity More collaborative developments (partnerships) More technology transfer (Research -> Industry) to reduce costs STANDARDISATION 14

15 Benefits for industrial companies Strategy To focus in-house developments on core competency (physics, numeric) To derive specific solution from the generic SALOME platform To rely on a high level skills software company Financial No run-time fee : provide the final version as many users you need 1 st cent invested is to solve the end-user problem Cost sharing for basic features and maintenance Open Source For the long term issue and a service company as insurance for maintenance Technical collaboration To simplify cooperation : same data format, same basic tools (platform) Technology transfer (from research to industry) 15
