THE EVENT
The Workshop for CODE_BRIGHT users is organised by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). It will take place on June 4, 2025, at room D2-216 (UPC Campus Nord).
CODE_BRIGHT is a state-of-the-art Finite Element Method (FEM) program designed for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) analysis in geological media. This powerful simulation tool has been jointly developed by CIMNE and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC).
CODE_BRIGHT enables advanced modelling of complex geotechnical and geoenvironmental processes, such as those encountered in nuclear waste disposal, unsaturated soil mechanics, and coupled transport phenomena. The software integrates seamlessly with the GiD pre/post-processor, also developed by CIMNE, providing a user-friendly interface for both research and application.
A prominent group of CIMNE researchers will join the event, particularly from the Geomechanics and Hydrogeology research cluster.

ABSTRACTS
The workshop will feature a series of presentations and discussions covering the latest developments, applications, and research challenges related to CODE_BRIGHT. Topics include:
• Advances in coupled THMC modelling for geological media
• Recent validation exercises and benchmark results
• Applications in nuclear waste disposal, unsaturated soil mechanics, and hydrogeological simulations
• Integration with GiD and new features in the latest CODE_BRIGHT release
A detailed list of abstracts and presentation summaries is available here.
PROGRAMME
The event is open to members of the international geomechanics and computational modelling communities and to anyone interested in the field.
