Introduction

Salome Study Manager (SIMAN) is a client – server application for managing simulation studies created in various Salome modules or other applications.
 

Namely, SIMAN provides users with the possibility to:

• Collect all simulation data (specifications, geometries, meshes, boundary conditions, calculation results, reports, etc.) produced according to the CEA study workflow.

•  Track the evolution of on-going studies (progress of studies, state of documents, design choices, history of modifications, etc.)

• Capitalize the problem solutions and store such knowledge as best practices, limitations and metrics.

• Archive and share these studies and knowledge into a centralized repository providing advanced search.

The usual user interaction with SIMAN and Salome goes as follows:

• Start a SIMAN session;

• Create a study;

• Initialize the activities, for example, import the requirements, write  the specifications and create the geometry;

• Check out the study scenario to launch SALOME opening the corresponding SALOME Study and the geometry previously imported into it;

• Continue working with SALOME, for example, mesh the geometry, set the boundary conditions, create a YACS calculation scheme;

• Check-in the scenario study to save the result back to SIMAN and close SALOME;

• Complete the metadata study information by adding simulation contexts and various comments such as design choices, issues, etc.
