1. Generalities

The sd_cata_elem data structure includes all the information provided in the finite element catalog files [D3.02.01].

This SD is created by the MAJNEW code update procedure and saved in the elements database. This database is copied into the user’s database during the DEBUT command. The objects that make up this SD are then readable by all the operators of the code.

There is only one SD of type sd_cata_elem; its name is ``& CATA ``.

The sd_cata_magnitude contains information from catalog Commons/Physical_quantities.py.

The sd_cata_type_mesh contains information from catalog Commons/mesh_types.py.

The sd_cata_option contains information from catalogs Options/*.py.

The sd_cata_type_elem contains information from catalogs Elements/*.py.

The sd_cata_phen_mode contains information from catalog Commons/phenomenons_modelisations.py.

Note:

All objects described in this document (except the 4 objects ``& CATA .TE. DIM_GEOM « , ``& CATA .TE. OPTTE « , ``& CATA .TE. TAILLMAX ``and ``& CATA .TE. NBLIGCOL « ) are created when item catalogs are compiled. These scripts generate a file ASCII containing these objects which are then re-read by the FORTRAN lccata.F90 routine. This routine then calculates the 4 missing objects.
