For OOFEM you need to add the following CMake option: -DUSE_OPENMP=ON (the default is OFF) If the OpenMP

3D FEM modeling for OOFEM in Salome

OOFEM can use some UNV files to create the “.in” input file for simulation. UNV is a common format for saving FEM meshed models. You can preprocess a model in Salome and export the mesh into UNV format to be later used by OOFEM. UNV file only includes the mesh and the also group of

Running Python scripts of OOFEM inside CLion

OOFEM has some parts written in python (*.py) such as unv2oofem used for preprocessing and extractor used for postprocessing. To run these scripts first make sure you have setup the python interpreter (see here) Next simply open the python script such as /tools/unv2oofem/unv2oofem.py by openning the script and right click on the file tab and
