Top 15 Code_Aster for Windows Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

Code_Aster is a free software for numerical simulation in structural mechanics, developed mainly by the “Advanced Mechanical Analysis” department of EDF‘s research and development department (ERMES, ElectRo – MEchanics Studies).

Since Code_Aster is provided for Linux environment only, we chose to rebuild it from sources to share its Windows binaries as many users were asking on the forum.

ASTER stands for “Analyses des Structures et Thermomécanique pour des Études et des Recherches”, french phrase meaning “Structural Analysis and Thermomechanics for Studies and Research”.
