Indeed: Salomé proper doesn't include a solver, but it does just about
everything else (meshing, MED file editing, post-processing).  And
Salomé-MECA adds modules to set up and monitor/control a complex Aster
run, so in a sense it is a complete FEA front end.

Unfortunately, Salomé recent source code is not available, and most of
-MECA source has never been released. :-(  However, Sylvestre is in
close contact with developers, and it looks like there will be progress
by the end of the year.
