Abstract:

This report is a users guide for the Computer Aided Design System, CADS. CADS is a pre and post processor for structural analysis and optimization programs based on the finite element method. The system supports five functional modules controlled by an Executive Monitor. All of these modules communicate with a data base through a data manager. In addition a post output translator, CADSPP, is available which processes output from finite element programs, e.g. NASTRAN, directly into the data base. This report gives a detailed description of all user commands available in CADS and CADSPP. A sample session is provided which shows the user commands applied to a variety of sample problems. Keywords Interactive graphics and Minicomputers. Author
