Abstract

Independently from the evolution of the scientific codes themselves, new possibilities are given to the engineers and the scientists thanks to the increasing interoperability between different codes. The possibility to couple together scientific codes gives rise to a large number of new applications. It is made possible by the ever increasing computing resources and by new software designs that put an emphasis on component models and generic interfaces. The SALOME project [1] provides an architecture and a suite of tools that facilitate the coupling of mesh-based codes. This paper describes the current features and models of the platform and describes the evolutions that are foreseen for taking into account the constraints posed by the large data volumes.
