Abstract:

The guide contains complete instructions for the use of FEABL, a basic software system developed for finite element analysis at the MIT Aeroelastic and Structures Research Laboratory. FEABL has been designed primarily for but is not limited to the specialized type of continuum analysis problem encountered in the materials laboratory. FEABL has also been used successfully as an educational tool in the finite element analysis course given by the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The software is modular, and is written in machine-independent FORTRAN 4 for the IBM 370155. A complete program listing is contained in Appendix C. Element subroutines which can be used either independently or in conjunction with FEABL will be presented in future publications.
