Eficas Beschreibung in Deutsch oder Englisch

I wonder if I understood you correct, my German is rusty, and apparently so is googles

Most of the commands you've mentioned here does exactly what they are called, though abbreviated:

DEFI_ : Define something, e.g. a material - definieren
MODI_MAILLAGE: Modify_Mesh - modifizieren
CALC_ELEM / NO: Calculate values at either ELEMents or at NOdes - berechnen

Those are the more obvious ones, lets look at the rest:

LIRE_MAILLAGE: means Read/import a mesh - Lire: Lesen
AFFE_* : means Apply / Assign - so you can apply/assign a MODEL (1D,2D,3D etc.), the MATERIAU you just defined, or e.g. a MECAnical CHARge - CHAR: Load or boundary condition.

MECA_STATIQUE: contains the commands to the Linear Statics Solver.
The reason it is called MECA is, that it's a linear mechanical solver and is not to be confused with the other types of problems Code_Aster can solve, e.g. non-linear mechanical problems, dynamics, (non)-linear thermal problems and so forth.


Impr_Resu: Impres = Write/print = Schreiben a result

FIN: Finish, end of file - has to be there, don't worry about it.

There is a long list of keywords (mot cles) that are already translated here:

www.code-aster.org/wiki/doku.php?id=en:p01_util:p120_terms

(www.code-aster.org/wiki/ -> Glossary of Code_Aster Abbreviations )

And you can search for a keyword here for elaboration:
www.code-aster.org/V2/doc/default/index.php?man=U4

Im not entirely sure what your last sentence means, but you can pretty much screw around with EVERYTHING inside Eficas, with a more or less interesting outcome, you just have to follow the rules, otherwise the keyword will turn RED and you have to fix it.

Hope this helps a bit.<br /><br />Post edited by: Claus, at: 2010/10/04 18:16
