 INTRODUCTION : PRINCIPLES AND BASIC NOTIONS
 *******************************************

 Castem 2000 is a new-generation program.
 The user has several notions at his disposal for constructing 
 by himself the application he needs in a language with which he
 is familiar.

  CONCEPT OF NAMED OBJECT 
  ------------------------

 The user solves his problem by creating OBJETS (OBJECTS) which 
 he names. A type has been attributed to these objects which are
 stored in a data base. The user can use and find the objects any
 time by means of their name. Their type allows the objects to be
 classified and to know how they can be manipulated by operators.


  CONCEPT OF OPERATOR
  --------------------

  These objects can be created by OPERATEURS (OPERATORS). The
  OPERATORS create one or several objects whose type is attributed
  in relation to existing objects supplied by the user through the
  GIBIANE language.

 
  GIBIANE LANGUAGE
  -------------------

 The GIBIANE language makes it possible to connect operators
 together by reading and writing them in the data base.
 
 Moreover, the language allows loops and logical tests to be
 performed. The user can therefore construct a parameterized
 application and program algorithms.

 
  CONCEPT OF PROCEDURE
  ---------------------

  Once an algorithm is written and tested, the user may wish to
  store it for himself or for other users to use it later on.
  This is possible with the PROCEDURE.
 
  The PROCEDURE can be used in the same way as an operator that
  creates objects from objects with a specific type.

  However, the PROCEDURE is written in GIBIANE language, so the 
  user can create it by himself.

 
  WHAT KIND OF ANALYSIS CAN THE USER CARRY OUT WITH CASTEM 2000 ?
  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Castem 2000 is a tool for full structure calculations :
  it goes from the mesher GIBI to every kinds of possible 
  calculations to the results postprocessing.

  It can be applied to one, two, or three-dimensional problems.

  The operators may be classified into several general classes :

---------------------------------------------------------------------
| TYPE OF OPERATOR                         |   NAME    | AVAILABLE  |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| General operators                        |    GENE   |    YES     |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Mesh operators                           |    GIBI   |    YES     |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Operators for static calculations        |    STAT   |    YES     |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Operators for dynamic calculations       |    DYNA   |     ?      |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Operators for modal dynamic calculations |    OSCAR  |    YES     |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Operators for non-linear calculations    |    NONLIN |    YES     |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Buckling operators                       |    FLAM   |     ?      |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Display operators                        |    CINEMA |    YES     |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Display operators                        |    CINEMA |    YES     |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
