Welcome to Asterclient’s documentation!¶
Asterclient is in it’s usage very similar to asrun program. For a normal run you will need:
- a Profile File.yml file which holds the basic data about the calculations (it is not needed for a very simple run where specify all relevant data on the commandfile, this isn’t supported up to now)
- several code aster Commandfile‘s
- maybe some Distributionfile if you want to run a parametric study
Motivation¶
The motivation for writing asterclient came out of some frustration since the asrun is documented quiet poorly specially on the topic of parametric studies. I thought it should be much easier and straight forward to run a paramtric study and in general a simple calculation.
Usage¶
After succesful Installation you need at least the following to run a calculation [1]:
- profile.yml
- commandfile
For more details read the documentation of the Profile File file and and the Distributionfile file.
Asterclient currently has two commands available, info
and run
, where
info can give you some information on your profile and run does the actual
work, for more info just type asterclient info -h
or asterclient run
-h
. The run command needs at least a profile specified, assumed you navigate
into the examples examples/basic/
directory you just need to type:
asterclient run -p profile.yml
