Why use Code-Aster?

  • You are looking for a highly qualified, very powerful and extremly adaptable finite element code
  • You share the opinion, that a logical way to work is better than an intuitive way when doing analysis tasks
  • You need strong nonlinear and strong dynamic capabilities of your simulation tool
  • You appreciate that there is a lively, high qualified and inspiring discussion forum as this one: http://www.code-aster.org/forum
  • You need very advanced analysis features which are proven and ready to use in Code-Aster, such as XFEM, Fatigue, Seismics, Fluid-Structure-Coupling, Component Mode Synthesis, automatic mesh refinement and many many many others, see http://www.code-aster.org
  • You wish a scalable Finite-Element-software. Tomorrow you will need MPI-parallel computing, more installations for more collegues, . . all this without license cost
  • You are annoyed to have to pay for all the useful tools as a versatile editor, file comparing tool, backup software, file search tools etc. on Windows. All this exists on Linux since decades, for no cost, and must not be updated every 2 years
  • You find the use of the powerful linux shell faster than mouse clickery. Or you are curious and ready to learn that it is true . . .
  • You need multiphysical coupled simulations which are possible with Code-Aster, Code-Saturne and Syrthes (structure, fluid, thermal)
  • You need a software your company can grow up with
