Abstract: | The development philosophy and implementation of IFECS (an interactive finite element computing system) is described. The system, written in BASIC-PLUS for the RSTS/E computing system, provides solutions for various classes of stress problems in two dimensions. IFECS contains an automatic mesh generator, solution routines and an interactive means of interrogating the program output. This latter feature provides the user with the means of directly selecting relevant information, rather than having to wade through vast reams of the total output. The system, which may be implemented on a very simple computing configuration, is very easy to use and for many problems reduces the effective solution time to a few hours. |
