3. Catalog architecture#
We distinguish between two types of catalogs:
the order catalogs that configure the supervisor,
the catalogs of elements that configure:
routine CALCUL,
the LIRE_MAILLAGE and AFFE_MODELE commands.
3.1. Order catalogs#
The architecture is simple: to each name command, command_i corresponds to a catalog with the same name. These catalogs are all independent of each other.
catalog |
order_1 |
catalog |
command_2 |
… |
… |
catalog |
command_n |
The contents of an order catalog are described in [D5.01.01].
3.2. Finite element catalogs#
Again, the architecture is quite simple. The content of these catalogs is described in [D3.02.01].
« cata1 —> cata2 » means: the cata1 catalog is based on the cata2 catalog. In other words, it uses entities described in the cata2 catalog.
