A Software Development Specification for Nonlinear Structural Analysis

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA228427 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report describes a programming environment for structural engineering computations. Offering many advantages over the current state of technology in this area, the software system discussed here is highly flexible and portable. In addition to carrying out sophisticated calculations efficiently on todays engineering workstations, the environment can also exploit the power of larger computers by linking tasks over a local area network. Furthermore, the system is programmable and extensible. Finally, the software system may be integrated with existing programs such as finite element codes and mathematical libraries. Keywords Software engineering, Interpreters.
