MAGNA (Materially and Geometrically Nonlinear Analysis). Addendum 1. Parts 1-4

Abstract

The finite element program MAGNA (Materially And Geometrically Nonlinear Analysis), has been developed for nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of complex three dimensional structures. This program is applicable to large structural response problems involving bars, membranes, beams, plates, shells, and three dimensional solids, experiencing large displacements, finite strains, large rotations, and plastic deformation. This revision package reflects a number of additions and modifications to the MAGNA software. These include the migration of CDC program versions from NOS/BE to the NOS operating system, conversion of source code to FORTRAN-77 (ANSI X3.9-1978), elimination of file naming and numbering conflicts among different program options, usage of CRAY COS V1.11 lk which is compatible with both CRAY-1 and CRAY-X/MP computers, conversion to IBM computers un der the OS/VS2 MVS operating system, modification of VAX/VMS and CRAY restart options, addition of a cyclic symmetry feature in natural frequency analysis with an option for static condensation. Keywords: Finite Element Analysis; Plasticity; Aircraft Wind Shields.
