u1.04.00 Code_Aster access interface: astk

Summary:

This document presents astk (contraction of Aster and Tk), the interface for organizing your*Code_Aster* calculations.

We describe the operating logic of astk, the graphical interface itself, bsf that allows you to explore the files on the various servers, then we explain how the user can configure astk according to his needs.

For quick access to Code_Aster, we show using examples how to launch a study and how to do a parametric study.

For people who have access to the Code_Aster calculation server on the EDF network, we explain how to issue an anomaly sheet, access the feedback sheets (REX).

Finally, in a second part, we present as_run, which offers numerous command line possibilities.

Here are the features of astk version 1.13, which manages all supported versions of*Code_Aster*.
