ASTK - Aster
[under construction - nearly empty box]
For the calculations we need two input files:
- mesh file, this has been discussed in the previous part
- command file, a list of commands for processing by Aster
Several output files and a directory are generated by Aster, the most common are:
- error file, *.err
- message file, *.mess
- results mesh file, with displacements, stresses, strains of the elements and nodes
- base folder, for storage intermediate results
ASTK GUI
The interface between the input files, output files and Aster is called ASTK. All the input and output files are defined. Other parameters, eg memory, maximum cpu time can be controlled here.
The file, Configuration, Tools and Options we will discuss later.
For normal use, tick Study.
Base path is the working directory for this process.
The input row for the file names is used for to link between the filenames and the logical file or unit numbers (UNITE) in the command file. From left to right the meaning of the columns, we take as example the second row:
- type is mesh or mmed file
- server is local, but <hostname> is also correct
- file name is ./shell.med
- file is input, D is ticked
- logical unit LU is 20, corresponding to UNITE=20 in the command file
Most commonly used input files:
- comm or command file
- mesh file
Most commonly used output files:
- error file
- message file: read this file carefully (in case of errors, but also observe the warnings, try to understand what is reported)
- base directory: directory for storing intermediate results
- result file
