The greater part of SAMCEF is written primarily in FORTRAN and contains several millions lines of code. SAMCEF is compatible with a large variety of computers (from small workstations to the largest supercomputers) and operating systems.
The pre and post processor SAMCEF Field is developped in C++ language.
SAMCEF was composed of several modules dedicated to particular analysis.
Some of the most common modules are:
- FIELD - Pre and post processor
- BACON - Pre and post language
- ASEF - Linear Static
- MECANO - Non Linear static and dynamic (implicit formulation) with special capabilities for MBS analysis
- THERMAL - Linear and Non Linear, transient and permanent thermal
- ROTOR - Rotating shaft vibration and transitory analysis
- BOSS Quattro - Multi Disciplibary Optimization
- EUROPLEXUS - Non linear dynamic (explicit formulation, fluid structure interaction)
