This dataset contains a software archive of the artificial solver testing environment ASTE (version v3.3.0), its corresponding documentation (as a PDF) and the compatible ASTE turbine tutorial. The documentation of ASTE is its README.md (in 'docs/README.md') converted to a PDF. The turbine tutorial is part of the preCICE tutorials in the preCICE distribution v2404.0. The dataset is connected to a publication in the Journal of Open Source Software (see related software).

The artificial solver testing environment (ASTE) allows to replace and imitate models coupled via the coupling library preCICE by artificial ones, potentially in parallel distributed across multiple ranks on distributed memory. This helps in the development of preCICE, adapters, or simulation setups by reducing the necessary software components, simplifying execution workflows, and reducing runtime of the case.

This version of ASTE was tested with preCICE v3.1.2. Other preCICE v3 releases should be compatible as well.
