In your folder D:\sm‐2019‐w64‐0.3 you will see the Salome‐Meca files.
Salome‐Meca runs by double click on “run_salome.bat”
run_salome.bat

You will see the main window of Salome‐meca and its main modules:
Salome‐meca main modules:
AsterStudy: postprocessing
Geometry: to create a geometry
Mesh: to mesh a geometry
Paravis: postprocessing

1 Create a folder for your problem (study)
Create a folder named “Exam‐1” → D:\ASTER\Examples\Exam‐1
2 Open Salome‐Meca
Double click on “run_salome.bat” in the folder where Salome_Meca
was installed (i.e., D:\sm‐2019‐w64‐0.3)
3 Create and save an study, for further modifications/amendements
Select File + Save As → save your study name “Exam‐1.hdf”
7
4 Select GEOMETRY module
8
5 Let’s create a simple 3D body Select NewEntity + Primitives + Box
or click on icon “create a box”
9
6 Naming and dimensioning your body
Type the name of y our geometry (“3D‐shape”) and assign: Dx=500,
Dy=200 and Dz=100 + App&Close. You will see the new body.
10
7 Meshing your 3D body
Now select the MESH module and you will enter the MESH environment
Select MESH module The MESH environment
11
What a finite elements mesh is?
A FE‐mesh is a set of nodes and cells (finite elements):
• Nodes defined by its coordinates
• Cells (elements) defined by a given connectivity
• Groups of cells (GROUP_MA) and groups of nodes (GROUP_NO)
12
8 Creating the mesh
Select Mesh + Create Mesh or click on icon
“create mesh”
13
9 Defining type of elements of the mesh
In the Create Mesh window, enter your mesh name (i.e. “MeshBody”) and select the type of
elements (tetrahedrals in this example)
14
10 Defining the mesh parameters
Now, in the Algorithm option select NETGEN 1D‐2D‐3D. Then in the Hypotheses button, select NETGEN 3D
Parameters:
15
11 Defining the max and min size of elements
In the Hypothesis Construction window, assign the maximum and minimum size of your elements (i.e.,
30 and 5. Then click OK and App&Close
16
12 Computing your newly created mesh
Then you will see your new mesh. Right button on the
mesh name (“MeshBody”) and click on Compute
17
13 The mesh is created
18
14 Mesh information and options
Right button on the mesh and you enter the Mesh Info window, with many displaying options
and mesh information
19
15 Saving the mesh
To save your mesh, click
right button on the mesh
name + Export + MED
file.
Your mesh will be saved
into your folder \Exam‐
1\ with the extension
*.MED. This is the ASTER
extension for mesh files.
20
16 Importing an already existent mesh
To import an already existing mesh into Salome‐Meca, go to File + Import and then select the
format of the mesh file to be imported. Several options area available at Salome‐Meca:
21
17 Viewing your imported mesh
Then you will see your imported mesh (“Mesh_1”) in the Object Browser window, together with your
“MeshBody”. You can view or hide a mesh by simply clicking on the small icon at the left of the mesh
names.
22
18 Importing geometries
You can also import geometries in several formats (BREP, STEP, STL, IGES, XAO). Select the
GEOMETRY module then File + Import + IGES. You will see your imported geometry:
23
19 Biomechanic geometries
24
20 Drilling the body
Let’s create a drilling in the body. We need to create a cylinder. First, we will create a point.
Select the icon “Create a point”, enter the point coordinates and App&Close:
25
Select the icon “Create a cylinder”. Tic the left option and now, on the Object Browser window on the left
(OBW) select the “Vertex_1” as the Base Point and the vector “OZ”as the Vector. Finally, enter the
cylinder Radius and Height and, as shown. Click App&Close and you will see your new created cylinder
26
Now to create the hole, we need to substract the cylinder from the body, using a boolean operator. Select
Operations + Boolean + Cut (or the icon “Cut”). Enter the name of your new body (i.e. “BodyDrilled”) . On
the OBW select the Main Object and the Tool Object and then App&Close. You will see your drilled body.
27
21 “Chamfering” the body
Now we want to make a chamfer over the whole body. Select Operations + Chamfer (or the icon
“Chamfer”). Enter the name of your new chamfered body (i.e. “BodyChamfered”) . On the OBW select
the Main Object and the size of the chamfer. Then App&Close and you will see your chamfered body.
28
22 “Filleting” the body
Now we want to fillet all the edges of the body’s top face. Go back to your BodyDrilled. Select Operations +
Fillet3D (or the icon “Fillet3D”). Enter the name of your new filleted body (i.e. “BodyFilleted”) and tic the
third option on the right. On the OBW select the Main Object, select the face to be filleted and the size of
the fillet. Then App&Close and you will see your filleted body.
