code_saturne & csauto: Automating CFD Campaigns

The second webinar in a Series dedicated to improving the EDF open-source simulation ecosystem user experience

Are you running parametric studies with code_saturne, copy-pasting folders manually, tracking cases in spreadsheets, and re-running simulations one by one? Are you looking for a faster, cleaner, more reproducible way to manage your CFD campaigns?

This webinar is for you!

Through a complete workflow walkthrough, a live demonstration, and practical guidelines, discover how csauto turns code_saturne into a true campaign engine - from a single case to dozens of parametric variants, executed and monitored at scale.

Why participate?

Through contact with code_saturne users, the Simvia teams have identified recurring obstacles:

  • Setting up a parametric study means copy-pasting folders manually
  • Tracking which case ran, failed, or finished is a spreadsheet nightmare
  • Going from 1 simulation to 40 feels like 40x the work
  • Reproducibility breaks down - a teammate cannot easily re-run a study six months later

This webinar shows you how to overcome these obstacles with:

  • code_saturne, used efficiently from the very first case
  • csauto, our open-source automation tool for CFD campaigns
  • A real-time web dashboard for campaign monitoring

Agenda (30 minutes + Q&A)

  • code_saturne setup & environment
    • Installation essentials
    • Classical case setup, simulation, and post-processing
  • Scaling to parametric studies with csauto
    • From a single case to a full campaign
    • Structuring templates and design of experiments
    • Best practices for reproducibility
  • Running & monitoring multiple cases simultaneously
    • Local execution and HPC deployment via Slurm
    • Live web dashboard for real-time monitoring
    • Handling failures and re-runs
  • Live demonstration on a real use case
    • From zero to automated campaign
    • Tips to save time
  • Roadmap & upcoming developments
    • What's next for csauto
    • How to contribute
  • Time dedicated to answering your questions live

Who is it for?

  • Current code_saturne users running parametric studies
  • CFD engineers managing simulation campaigns at scale
  • Researchers and PhD students needing reproducible workflows
  • Technical teams seeking to standardize their CFD environment
