CODE_BRIGHT
Description
CODE_BRIGHT is a Finite Element Method (FEM) program capable of performing coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) analysis in geological media. It has been developed at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and works combined with the pre/post-processor GiD, developed by the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE).
The CODE_BRIGHT project is funded by a Consortium composed by SKB (Sweden), Posiva (Finland), GRS (Germany) and ANDRA (France). The members of the steering commitee of this consortium are Anders Sjöland (Chairman, SKB), Mika Niskanen (Posiva), Oliver Czaikowski (GRS) and Antoine Pasteau (ANDRA).

Installation
STEP 1) Installation of GID version:
Download the last GiD Windows 64 bits official version from: https://www.gidsimulation.com/gid-for-science/downloads/
For the use of most CODE_BRIGHT tutorials there is no need for a GiD password. However, if needed, note that there is an option for one month free registration in: https://www.gidsimulation.com/pricing/password/
STEP 2) Installation of the CODE_BRIGHT version:
Go to the downloads section and download the CODE_BRIGHT zip file with the program. After unzipping, copy the folder Code_bright_vn.gid into the folder /PROBLEMTYPES within the main folder of GiD (This subdirectory is by default C:\Program Files\GiD\GiDversion#\problemtypes for Windows english version and GiDversion# except if another destination folder was specified for GiD program during its installation).
Note that, because of a change in the compiler we use, you may have to install the following application in order for CODE_BRIGHT to work: w_ifort_runtime_p_2022.2.0.3790.exe
Now CODE_BRIGHT should be ready to use by selecting it in GiD Menu (Data --> Problem type).
