2. Order catalog

Here is the skeleton to be completed from the code_aster/cata/commands/modi_mail.py catalog:

from.commons import*
from.. language.DataStructure import*
from.. language.Syntax import*


MODI_MAIL = OPER (
    name=" MODI_MAIL ",
    op=190,
    sd_prod=mesh_sdaster,
    fr=tr ("Modifying a mesh by translation"),
    reentrant="o: MAILLAGE ",
    use= SIMP (status="c", typ=CO),
    MAILLAGE = ... ,
    TRANSLATION = ... ,
    INFO = SIMP (status="f", typ="I", default=1, into =( 1, 2)),
)

2.1. Catalog description

Imports of other modules throughout the*package* code_aster must be facts in relation (from.. Commons and not from code_aster.cata.commons). import* is forbidden except in order catalogs.

name must be the same as what is on the left of the equal sign, among others, to automate the import of orders. Note that this catalog will automatically be imported with no other addition. The file name is also consistent (in lower case).

op indicates the number of the Fortran routine that is being called. For a new order, choose a free number in Ex0000.F90.

sd_pro defines the type of the output object. The catalog is also used by asterStudy, which cannot import all aster_codes. So it is a lightweight DataStructure, defined in code_aster/cata/datastructure.py, and not of the object that will be produced in the command file. Here, mesh_sdaster vs Mesh. asterStudy manipulates a mesh_sdaster object which does not contain much more than its type and the command file manipulates real Mesh objects. The correspondence is as follows:

mesh_sdaster.getType () == Mesh () .getType () == "MAILLAGE_SDASTER"

reentrant indicates that the command must be (“o”) « reentrant », i.e. that it changes the object provided to the « MAILLAGE » keyword. If it was reentrant according to the keywords provided, we would indicate “f” (optional) or “n” if it never is. If it can be reentrant, you should add the hidden keyword reuse, which is always defined that way.

The INFO keyword is present in the majority of orders. It is worth 1 (normal verbosity) or 2 (additional detailed prints).

2.1.1. Keywords to add

MAILLAGE is a simple keyword. Its optional or mandatory nature must be defined, the expected type.

For this exercise, we want TRANSLATION to be a keyword factor that contains only one simple VECTEUR keyword. These keywords are mandatory. It is more natural for the user to provide 2 real values to define the translation vector in 2D and 3 in 3D.
