TUBA is a Python module orginally created by Pascal KREZEL and now developped by Jan-Georg WAGENFELD. It allows to create and simulate piping- and rod geometries in Salome-Meca (OpenSource under LPGL license).
With a simple to use set of commands even complex piping-geometries can be generated and different load cases can be simulated. TUBA prepares the scripts for SalomeMeca, CodeAster and ParaVis which then have to be loaded into Salome-Meca where the actual simulation is effected.
Even without further knowledge of SalomeMeca, TUBA allows to quickly and easily create piping-geometries and effect the targeted calculation and analysis.
