Menu Help:

Menu File:
----------
  - New:
    Create a new profile.

  - Open:
    Open a profile created earlier by astk.

  - Save:
    Back up the profile running (this is done automatically at the time of starting a calculation).

  - Save As:
    Back up the running profile under a new profile name (and its location).

  - Copy As: 
    Copy the profile running in another directory and copy the files that it references.

  - Import:
    - astk_serv: Reads again an export file of a previous execution.
    - file REX : Import the attached files as a REX file.
    
    - Export As: Allows the profile running to be exported in the format astk_serv (for services ASTK_SERV) or in the format run_aster. The file with the format
    run_aster is incomplete because information on the version of Aster used is not known interface (except service).

  - Print:
    Print the configuration of the commands to a user selected printer (lpr, a2ps...) which will be used to print the files. The command can be carried out on a remote server.  
    The variable @P of command line will be substituted with the name of the printer queue (name of the Unix printer), the name of the file will replace @F (see Menu Tools for the field codes). 

    Example of a print command : 
      lpr -h -P @P @F
    or
      /usr/bin/a2ps -P @P -2 --print-anyway=yes --sides=tumble @F

   The command can be as complicated as you wish, but it is absolutely necessary to use the code "@F" which represents the name of the printer file.

  - Quit: Finish the session

  - Finally: A list of recently opened profiles are directly accessible starting from menu File.


Menu Configuration:
-------------------

  - Servers: Modify the configuration of the servers: calculation servers or file server. 
  - For the calculation servers, choose the mode of downloading the Aster configuration: the server uses the list of the versions available, the procedure (batch and/or interactive) and the memory/time limits specified. 
    It is necessary to indicate the 'login' authorized to connect itself to the server, and the directory where the server part of astk is installed (ASTK_SERV).

    - For the file servers, choose "any" like mode of downloading the Aster configuration.

  - Interface: Defines the user preferences:
     For astk:
        Name, first name, email will be used for a feedback management tool (publishing of the feedback cards of bugs, anomalies, improvements...).
        The access to the data processing department of Aster if the user is recognized as an Aster developer on the reference machine. 
        The access path to the editor and the terminal (window xterm) on the local machine, the version to be selected by default, the number of displayed profiles in the File menu, the level of detail of debugging messages.
        The network parameters: name of the local machine or IP address in DHCP mode, network domain name of the machine, protocols used at the time of the execution of commands on a remote server or copy of remote files.
     For asjob:
        The number of lines displayed (of completed or jobs currently running), and the automatic updating frequency in minutes.


Menu Tools:
-----------
- Parameters: 
  Allows one to configure the launching of tools.
   Certain tools are considered as "out of standard" (not being available on the local machine) :
    - Post-Processing with Code_Aster (command Stanley),
    - Conversion of the mesh with Code_Aster,
    - Conversion of the Aster base to HDF format,
    - Exploration of files on multiple machines (bsf), 
    - Aster command file editor (eficas), 
    - Gmsh: Maillor and tool for postprocessing (free), 
    - Gibi: Maillor and tool for postprocessing (usable free with Aster), 
    - Curve tracer, graphing tool (xmgrace)

  The user can add his own tools to the list, to specify the access path to the tools (including modifying the order of access to the standard tools), define which types of files are associated with the tool and specify if one can use the tool on a remote file.

  The following codes can be used in the command line: 
    - @F: absolute path of the selected file, 
    - @R: directory containing the selected file, 
    - @f: name of the file (without the directory), 
    - @D: address of the DISPLAY (that known at the time of the launching of the interface).

  The tools are called either starting from menu Tools, or starting from the contextual menu on a file list or in the browser (right button).
  To select a file, just click on its name in a list (in the tab Study, Tests or Develop).


Menu Options:
-------------
  - Arguments: 
    Allows one to declare optional arguments which will be placed on the command line of the execution of Code_Aster.
      dbgjeveux : activate a mode different from the management of the objects in memory to detect erasure and destruction of objects,
      rep_outils: the directory where the tools called by Aster (onmetis or gibi for example) are to be found, 
      rep_dex   : the directory where the external data (of a given grid) are to be found,
      rep_mat   : the directory where the material data catalogs are stored.

  - Parameters:
    Definition of the optional parameters used at the time of the launching of a list of tests (button TESTS). 
      nbmaxnook : a maximum number of invalid case-tests (NOOK, ARRET_ANORMAL...) after which tests will be stopped, 
      cpresok   : allows one to chose for which tests result files should be kept, 
          RESOK   : keep the result files of both OK and NOOK tests, 
          RESNOOK : keep only the result files of the NOOK tests, 
      facmtps   : multiplication factor for the time of the tests (compared to the time of reference of the para).  Useful, for example, when one subjects tests with the built in executable debug mode which is slower. 
      ncpus     : number of processors. 
      class     : allows to specify in which class batch calculation will be launched.
      start     : start time, to defer (postpone or delay) the start of a calculation.

  - See Aide/Parameters of calculation for the start options.


Menu Help:
----------
  - Introduction / Parameters of calculations / Menus : Access the help text

  - Release Notes: Evolution of astk versions, new possibilities, corrections made, known bugs...

  - Common Problems: Some questions frequently and their solutions. (FAQ)

  - Messages Window: The messages of information <INFORMATION>, of errors <ERROR> are written in this window.  With a level of message equal to or higher than 1 (see Configuration/Interface), one obtains information of debug more or less.  Level 1 displays in particular the commands sent to the servers.

  - About: The information window (About ASTK).
