Engineering Simulation Training Module

A complete hands-on learning path to build, automate, and visualize physics-based simulations using open-source tools — from geometry creation to remote execution and post-processing.

Start Learning

GitHub

⛶

Geometry & Meshing (Salome)

Learn how to create, group, and mesh geometries using Salome. Understand surface and volume markers, export to MED/XDMF formats, and prepare models for FEniCS simulations.

⚙

Simulation & Solvers (FEniCS)

Set up and solve PDE-based problems using FEniCS. Implement elasticity, wave, and heat transfer models, and build a robust understanding of finite element methods for real engineering problems.

⎋

Containerization & Automation (Docker)

Learn how to run FEniCS inside Docker containers for reproducibility and portability. Build your own simulation images, automate workflows, and deploy simulations on any system.

⌘

Code Environment (VS Code & Python)

Use VS Code effectively for simulation development. Set up Python interpreters, extensions, and integrate Jupyter, Remote-SSH, and debugging tools for seamless code execution.

❖

Visualization (ParaView)

Visualize simulation outputs using ParaView. Explore scalar and vector fields, apply filters, and use Client–Server mode for remote post-processing of large datasets.

☁

Remote Computing & Cloud

Learn how to connect to remote servers, run jobs using SSH, tmux, and schedulers like SLURM. Work with Jupyter over port forwarding and perform end-to-end remote workflows.
