A version of the Graphics-oriented, Interactive, Finite
element, Time-sharing System (GIFTS) has been developed for,
and installed on, an IBM computer with the Conversational
Monitor System (CMS). GIFTS, developed at, and available
from the Interactive Graphics Engineering Laboratory of the
University of Arizona, is an extensive code for static, transient,
modal, and constrained substructural analysis of three
dimensional truss, plate, shell, and solid finite element
models. A brief description of GIFTS, including insights
into its logic and structure necessary to the version's
development, and an in-depth description of the method used
to invoke CMS commands from the executing program for the
purpose of data base management are provided. The version,
making use of the Tektronix 4000 series graphics terminals,
is self-contained and portable, allowing its installation
on other IBM computers with the CMS operating system.
