OOFEM Salome Module Tutorial

The OOFEM Salome module is a plug-in module into 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

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

• export SALOME_MODULE_DIR=$PWD

• run

  source env_build.sh

• run

  export OOFEM_ROOT_DIR=$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/OOFEM/

• change working directory to OOFEM_BUILD

  cd OOFEM_BUILD

• run

  cmake ../OOFEM_SRC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${OOFEM_ROOT_DIR}
  sudo make install

• finally run salome

  $SALOME_MODULE_DIR/KERNEL_7.4.0/bin/salome/runSalome -mGEOM,SMESH,OOFEM

• After the installation is complete, you can run salome

  export OOFEM_ROOT_DIR=$SALOME_MODULE_DIR/OOFEM/
  $SALOME_MODULE_DIR/KERNEL_7.4.0/bin/salome/runSalome -mGEOM,SMESH,OOFEM
