New development of CAE platform and computational mechanics software
Résumé
Numerical modeling is a powerful tool to solve complex engineering problems. One of significant requirements in the design of a scientific computing program is the ability to store, retrieve, and process data that maybe complex and varied. To the users, it is important not only to have a powerful solver, but also to work in a convivial graphical interface environment. It is so important to develop a general and open CAE platform with friendly graphical user interfaces. This paper presents the new progress of our research team in developing the CAE software platform OmtDesk. Using Qt+OpenGL and C++ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) techniques, this platform includes a friendly User Graphical Interface (GUI) and it could be run on multi-systems. As an example, a solid mechanics computational software is developed based on the platform and user interface. It shows that the software design concepts proposed in this paper are valuable and the CAE platform has already powerful features.
