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.

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.


.. csv-table::

    "catalog", "order_1"
    "catalog", "command_2"
    "...", "..."
    "catalog", "command_n"


The contents of an order catalog are described in [:external:ref:`D5.01.01 <D5.01.01>`].

Finite element catalogs
---------------------------

Again, the architecture is quite simple. The content of these catalogs is described in [:external:ref:`D3.02.01 <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.
