A small step for Salome-Meca, a giant leap for AsterStudy

3 November 2017

AsterStudy: great feedback

Many of you have provided feedbacks on the use of Salome-Meca 2017, published September 1, 2017. Thank you!

This new version inaugurated the AsterStudy interface, which brings a whole new user experience for the data settings and launching of code_aster calculations.

The first feedbacks showed that AsterStudy suffered from some blocking bugs that could affect the daily usage.

A new maintenance version …

After two months, a new version is therefore released that corrects a dozen anomalies including the following problems:

  • freezing of the application when using Python variables or macro-commands;
  • Crash when reopening a study that used the "Open in ParaViS" feature;
  • loss of data in case of error while saving the study.

… with some improvements

On the other hand, we took advantage of this new version to push some evolutions that could not integrate the release candidate:

  • performance improvement of loading times for command files in graphical mode;
  • support of complex numbers and of any operation performed with the "math" module of Python in graphical mode;
  • search improvement in graphical mode (full text search).

This version 2017.0.2 is therefore a small step for Salome-Meca but a giant leap for AsterStudy!
