Code_Aster Python Package

This Package makes the simulation software code_aster easy to install and use within python and registers also commands to use it with the CMD/Terminal. There is a version for Windows and Linux (in construction).

What is Code_Aster ?

Code_Aster offers a full range of multiphysical analysis and modelling methods that go well beyond the standard functions of a thermomechanical calculation code: from seismic analysis to porous media via acoustics, fatigue, stochastic dynamics, etc. Its modelling, algorithms and solvers are constantly under construction to improve and complete them (1,200,000 lines of code, 200 operators). Resolutely open, it is linked, coupled and encapsulated in numerous ways

Installation

pip install code-aster-win

That's all!

Test your installation

import code_aster as ca

# Returns a log with all the information
logs = ca.test_installation()

# For example you can extract the output the command generated
print(logs.stdout)

It will start a test simulation and if it runs without error the installation is ok.

How to use it

Use of the as_run command

import code_aster as ca
from pathlib import Path

# Path to the export file
# Attention use Pathlib and front slashes (/).
path = Path('C:/Users/..../forma01a.export')

# Returns a log with all the information
logs = ca.as_run(path)

# For example you can extract the output the command generated
print(logs.stdout)

Use of the run_astk command

import code_aster as ca
from pathlib import Path

# Returns a log with all the information
logs = ca.run_astk()

# For example you can extract the output the command generated
print(logs.stdout)

Use it directly in the Terminal/CMD
