Abstract
This report describes Version 1.0 of ALADDIN, an interactive computational
toolkit for the matrix and finite element analysis of engineering systems. The ALADDIN
package is designed around a language specification, that includes quantities with physical
units, branching constructs, and looping constructs. The basic language functionality is
enhanced with external libraries of matrix and finite element functions.
ALADDIN's problem solving capabilities are demonstrated via the solution to a
