Presentation of the handbook of reference
The Handbook of Reference gathers all the notes of principle relating to the functionalities implemented
in the code. The justifications of the methods and modelings refer to notes of specific studies or the
scientific literature. A short description in the way in which the functionalities can be used is provided. It
is a handbook essential to a rational use of the code.
The Independent Validation relates to the functionalities described by the Handbook of Reference, the
Instruction manual specifying only the practical methods making it possible to implement them (cf Plan
of Validation [A3.01.01]). Moreover, each Department is been liable in the plan for maintenance for the
functionalities starting from the reference documents (cf Plan of Diffusion [A4.01.01]). It is to say the
importance of the Handbook of Reference to the title of the Quality assurance.
The Handbook of Reference does not define however the field of validity of the assumptions, the
methods and the modelings retained compared to their application to calculation of the structures. This
field must be acquired in addition by the user, who is only responsible for the relevance of the results
that it produces. For any study under Quality assurance, it will be able to give a report on what it knows
of the functionalities employed thanks to the Handbook of Reference, the adequacy of these
functionalities to the problem which it deals with is of its only responsibility. The reference material thus
does not replace the notes of study aiming at giving elements to delimit this field of validity. These notes
which can prove extremely useful, are published under the responsibility of the Departments. They will
be quoted, as much as possible, by the reference documents.
The Handbook of Reference must make it possible to establish the link between the documentation of
use and the source code for which knows the principles of programming described in Handbook D. It
does not substitute for the comments which must be present in the source, but it must facilitate the
reading of it. A failure with this principle can lead to the rewriting of the programming or reference
material. The reference material must, indeed, make it possible the Departments to quickly find
substitutes effective when a developer has suddenly changed function.
