Abstract
The primary purpose of this thesis was to provide a
method of checking the geometry and element connectivity
input data for two finite element programs, ADINA and
SAP IV. This preprocessor will accept the ADINA or SAP IV
data deck, with minor modifications, and generate a graphical
display of the finite element model. The display is
an oblique orthographic projection, and any orientation
may be specified. Several options are available: exploded
plots, partial plots, node numbering, element numbering,
and others. Elements with three nodes on the same edge
are plotted with a continuous curve on each edge generated
by an interpolated parabola. Displacement postprocessing
capability also exists.
