You are absolutely right. It is unclear to me what this software can do. Can I generate finite element models with it? Or is it just a way to start simulations on a backend? Can I view models, or meshes, or results of calculations? What kind of finite elements are supported? If this is a frontend, is the backend also packaged for Debian?

Not that I know of (possibly homard), but it's possible. It doesn't look straightforward to disentangle the build system from the server component that runs the aster FEA binary. Apologies again for the sloppy ITP bug. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think it doesn't matter what language these tools are written in, as long as they do whay they're supposed to do. So this is not useful information for the long description. Use the debtags system instead for these kinds of annotations. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature
