Definition of a consistent system of units

System	m kg	mm t
Length l	1 m	1000 mm
Mass m	1 kg	1e-3 t
Time t	1 s	1 s
Force F	1 N	1 N
Stress σ	1e8 Pa	100 MPa
Torque τ (moment M)	1 N m	1000 N mm
Energy E	1 J	1 J
Density ρ	1000 kg/m³	1e-9 t/mm³
Young’s modulus E	1e11 Pa	1e5 MPa
Velocity v	1 m/s	1000 mm/s
Acceleration a	1 m/s²	1000 mm/s²
Thermal conductivity λ	1 W/(m K)	1e-3 W/(mm K)
Specific heat capacity isobaric cp	1 J/(kg K)	1000 J/(t K)
Volumetric heat capacity ρ cp	1 J/(m³ K)	1e-9 J/(mm³ K)

Note: Torque is not equal to Energy. E = τθ, where E is the energy, τ is magnitude of the torque, and θ is the angle moved (in radians).

$ASTER_TMPDIR may point to /tmp and this directory could be an tmpfs Filesystem with limited space. It is not necessary to alter $ASTER_TMPDIR but rep_trav, the temporary directory for Aster executions, inside asrun. Possible folder locations of asrun are:

• /home/user/salome_meca/V2017.0.2/tools/Code_aster_frontend-20170/etc/codeaster/asrun

• /opt/salome_meca/V2017.0.2/tools/Code_aster_frontend-20170/etc/codeaster/asrun

or even better to overwrite the variable inside the local user config file ~/.astkrc/prefs by inserting

• rep_trav : /home/user/tmp/codeaster

If using ASTK use -max_base 250000 on ASTK arguments line. If using AsterStudy modify

• salome_meca/V2017.0.2/modules/ASTERSTUDY_201702/lib/python2.7/site-packages/asterstudy/datamodel/engine/salome_runner.py

  • adding the following before the line 149 salome_job = create_command_job(servcfg, params, prof, stage):

    • prof.args['args'] = "-max_base 250000"

• salome_meca/V2018/modules/ASTERSTUDY_20180/lib/python2.7/site-packages/asterstudy/datamodel/engine/salome_runner.py

  • adding the following before the line 181 salome_job = create_command_job(servcfg, params, prof, stage):

    • prof.args['args'] = "-max_base 250000"

• For Code_Aster version 14 this should no longer be required, this is done automatically when needed.
