Update of the training materials

The training materials were updated following the training sessions organized in-house at EDF in late 2017.

Among the novelties, one finds in particular:

• the revamp of the presentation of code_aster and Salome-Meca: it now includes a comprehensive section on AsterStudy, the new GUI for data settings and launching of code_aster in Salome-Meca ;
• the update of the presentation of contact-friction features: it now deals with the new contact resolution algorithm (LAC) adapted to quadratic curved surfaces and incompatible meshes;
• the addition of a new presentation on the insertion of defects in a sane mesh: it illustrates the use of the new Zcracks plugin in Salome-Meca based on the eponymous software.

Regarding the training "HPC - Accelerating the studies," one may also note the addition of a presentation on a practical use case which was accelerated by the application of the advices given in the training.

Finally, development training materials now take into account the new format of the commands catalog.

All documents have also been the subject of a comprehensive update to comply with the syntax of the version 13 of code_aster, which is the stable version until July 2019.

You will find all these documents in the Training section of the code_aster website.
