Interactive Nonlinear Structural Analysis: A Review of the Gifts-Stags Union.

Abstract

The three primary tasks were: (1) the GIFTS and STAGS finite element programs were to be data-base linked permitting GIFTS graphics-interactive pre- and post-processing of STAGS batch nonlinear structural analysis; (2) interactive software was to be introduced to facilitate convenient operation of the software assembly; and (3) the resulting integrated system was to be verified and documented. The corresponding results: (1) It is now possible to utilize GIFTS pre- and post-processing for a limited variety of STAGS analyses; (2) the software assembly is accessible to the user within a totally conversational environment in which both batch and interactive phases of analysis are prepared, managed and data-base monitored; and (3) current capabilities have been verified with respect to a modest selection of sample problems.
