-
-Welcome to SALOME Platform! Modern technological products (cars,
-structures, electrical or electronic equipment) are getting more and
-more complex every year and must meet increasingly severe requirements
-in terms of quality and performance. For example, for structures and
-their environment the demands to reduce risks and optimize costs are
-extremely high. It requires particularly refined simulations
-concerning structural behavior and robustness to ensure high
-reliability.
-\n The numeric modeling of a physical problem, the development of
-solutions and their integration into the design process are often
-handled in very specific environments. SALOME represents a generic
-CAD-based application for digital simulation with "high reactivity to
-market evolutions and customer expectations".
-
-SALOME is a free software that provides a generic platform for Pre and
-Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and
-flexible architecture made of reusable components available as free
-software.
-
-SALOME is a CAD/CAE integration platform. It provides reusable
-components for:
-<ul>
-<li>3D modeling (bottom-up construction, import, healing);
-<li>Visualization;
-<li>Computational schemas management;
-<li>Post-processing.
-</ul>
-
-SALOME is tailored for integration of custom components:
-<ul>
-<li>CAD interfaces;
-<li>Mesh generators;
-<li>Finite Element solvers with specific pre-processors.
-</ul>
-
-The SALOME platform is available in Open Source.
-
-<b>Salome Platform:</b>
-<ul>
-<li>Supports interoperability between CAD modeling and computation software (CAD-CAE link)
-<li>Makes easier the integration of new components on heterogeneous systems for numerical computation
-<li>Sets the priority to multi-physics coupling between computation software
-<li>Provides a generic user interface, user-friendly and efficient, which helps to reduce the costs and delays of carrying out the studies
-<li>Reduces training time to the specific time for learning the software solution which has been based on this platform
-<li>All functionalities are accessible through the programmatic
-integrated Python console
-</ul>

-<b>What can you do in SALOME? (Some of SALOME main functions)</b>
-<ul>
-<li>Define geometrical models (create/modify geometrical items), import and export them using the BREP, IGES and STEP formats;
-<li>Define meshing of these geometrical items, import and export them;
-<li>Handle physical properties and quantities attached to geometrical items, import and export them to a reusable format;
-<li>Perform computations using a solver (optionally provided): read input data, configure the solver, and write calculation results);
-<li>Visualize result fields in 3D, 2D and export images of their visualization to an appropriate format;
-<li>Manage study schemes: definition, save/restore;
-<li>Manage computation schemes: definition, execution.
-</ul>
-
-From the point of view of the \subpage salome_architecture_page "Architecture",
-Salome is composed of several modules.
-
-This part of documentation on Salome also covers
-\subpage introduction_to_gui_page "general Salome functionalities",
-common for all modules, such as study management, Salome viewers,
-preferences, etc.
-
-
-And finally, there is an additional chapter, which provides a short
-guide about the \subpage tui_page "usage of SALOME GUI Python interface" to access SALOME GUI
-functionalities from the Python code.
