Code_Aster. EDF has been developing for 20 years its own numerical simulation software for structural analysis: Code_Aster. Widely used in-house for verification and maintenance of power plants and electrical networks, this tool covers a large range of applications such as 3D thermal  and mechanical analysis in linear and non-linear statics and dynamics. It can be applied to machines, pressure vessels and civil engineering structures and so on. Beyond the standard and all-purpose functionalities of a Finite Elements Method software for structural and solid mechanics, Code_Aster is compiling the numerical models elaborated by the EDF's research activity in mechanics : fatigue, damage, fracture, contact, geo-materials, porous media, multi-physics coupling.

Code_Saturne is EDF's general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. It can handle either incompressible or expandable flows with or without heat transfer and turbulence. Dedicated modules are available for radiative heat transfer, combustion (gas, coal, heavy fuel oil), magneto-hydrodynamics, and Lagrangian particle tracking.

BRT-CICERO EDF has developed a software called BRT-CICERO^TM for the surveillance of the secondary piping system of its Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). The software enables the operator to calculate the wear rates taking into account all the influencing parameters such as : pipe isometrics, chromium content of the steel, chemical conditioning and operating parameters of the secondary circuit (temperature, pressure, etc...).
