====== OOFEM Salome Module Tutorial ======
The OOFEM Salome module is a plug-in module into [[http://www.salome-platform.org/|Salome platform]], which is established open-source software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulations. The OOFEM module adds a support for OOFEM:
  * Ability to assign the boundary conditions, materials on the level of the geometrical model (to  defined groups)
  * Ability to set up the complete model by selecting the components from the library and editing their properties within the salome
  * Export the created model into oofem

===== Instalation =====
In this installation tutorial, the SALOME_MODULE_DIR variable is a path to Salome module directory

  * Unpack module sources (OOFEM_SRC.tar.gz) into a Salome module directory (Salome_7.4.0 in my case)
  * In the same directory create OOFEM_BUILD and OOFEM directories.
  * In the same directory define SALOME_MODULE_DIR
  * <code>export SALOME_MODULE_DIR=$PWD</code>
  * run <code>source env_build.sh</code>
  * run <code>export OOFEM_ROOT_DIR=$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/OOFEM/</code>
  * change working directory to OOFEM_BUILD <code>cd OOFEM_BUILD</code>
  * run <code>cmake ../OOFEM_SRC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${OOFEM_ROOT_DIR}
sudo make install</code>
  * finally run salome <code>$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/KERNEL_7.4.0/bin/salome/runSalome -mGEOM,SMESH,OOFEM</code>
===== Starting up =====
  * After the installation is complete, you can run salome <code>export OOFEM_ROOT_DIR=$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/OOFEM/
$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/KERNEL_7.4.0/bin/salome/runSalome -mGEOM,SMESH,OOFEM
</code>
