Abstract:

Computer program BMCOL51 performs finite-element simulation of a linearly elastic beam-column subjected to fixed and movable loads. Enhancements are made to an existing FORTRAN code using currently available hardware and software. The original code runs on a minicomputer with alphanumeric terminals, while the enhanced version runs on a microcomputer with an improved user interface that includes panel-oriented input and extensive use of graphics. Low-level assembly language routines are written to provide functions for manipulating screens, while calls to a commercial software package provide functions for graphical capabilities. The existing code is integrated with the new program as a subroutine, but no other modifications are made to facilitate avoidance of new error sources. Panel-oriented input eases the user's burden of creating and editing problems. Graphically representation of input data allows error-checking before execution of the code. In addition to the conventional numerical presentation, output data from analysis is also displayed graphically. A menu structure controls access to various capabilities of the software package. FORTRAN 77 is used as the primary language for new code development.
