Our code_saturne training courses

Our sessions are primarily aimed at:

• Calculation, R&D or design engineers working in the field of numerical simulation.
• Profiles with a background in CFD or Finite Elements (basic knowledge of meshing, boundary conditions, post-processing).
• Users looking to structure their practice of code_saturne and its ecosystem (Salomé, ParaView, etc.).

Our inter-company sessions are ideal for training 1 to 5 employees. From 6 people onwards, we recommend switching to an in-house training course. This format allows us to tailor the examples to your specific business challenges.

Hardware requirements A personal computer with at least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended) and a recent processor is sufficient to complete all the hands-on exercises. No dedicated graphics card is required.

Software requirements The training course uses code_saturne and Salomé, available for free on the open-simulation-center.org website. Detailed installation instructions will be sent to you before the training so that you can arrive with your environment up and running.

Note for institutional users: On some lab or university computers, administrative permissions may restrict software installation. We recommend that you verify the installation process with your IT department before the training.

Backup solution If you encounter an installation problem despite following the instructions, Simvia can provide preconfigured computers for the duration of the training. Please let us know no later than the day before the session so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Our training courses are led by CFD engineers and PhDs, daily experts in code_saturne within Simvia. As advanced users and contributors, they go beyond theory: they share with you best practices, troubleshooting tips and feedback from real industrial experience.

Yes. Each participant receives an official training completion certificate. This document attests to your active participation in the training and details all the modules and technical skills acquired (fundamentals, meshing, solving, post-processing).

Absolutely. Our offering is designed to support your long-term skill development.

Stay tuned to discover the upcoming dates for these advanced sessions!

To ensure a solid foundation for all participants, inter-company sessions follow an optimised standard programme. If you wish to work directly on your own geometries, your own business cases or your internal workflows, we recommend in-house training. We then co-build the programme with you to precisely address the challenges of your sector.
