Title: MATUS; MESH3D; APACHE; 3-dimensional finite-element elastic analysis. [CDC6600,7600; IBM370; FORTRAN IV and COMPASS (CDC6600,7600), FORTRAN IV (IBM370)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6318162

The MATUS,MESH3D,APACHE set of programs performs small-strain elastic analysis of three-dimensional solids. The CDC version consists of the three programs. Only MESH3D, the mesh generator, is available in an IBM version.CDC6600,7600;IBM370; FORTRAN IV and COMPASS (CDC6600,7600), FORTRAN IV (IBM370); A description of the software environment and the hardware usage assumed by the program is contained in reference 4. In particular, the program is designed to run under the SCOPE 3.1.5 operating system on the CDC6600 and under SCOPE 1.1 operating system on the CDC7600. The IBM version of MESH3D runs under OS/360 or OS/370; The program was written for a CDC6600 or a CDC7600 with a central memory size of 64K and an extended core size of 512K. The actual amount of central memory and extended core used by the program depends on the problem size. The program requires a card reader, a line printer, a system disk, and 2 scratch disks. Also, a driver that allows writing-in-place is required for the 2 scratch disks. MESH3D requires approximately 445K bytes for execution on an IBM370/195..

Resource Relation:
Other Information: Problems with up to about 3200 nodes can be solved (with a central memory field length of 170,000 octal). Large bandwidths can cause overflow of data from extended core storage to lower speed disk storage which can greatly increase the running time of a problem
