Abstract

Previous reporting described the use of Computer Graphics for generating and checking of the bulk input data required by the NASTRAN or IDEAS structural analysis programs. Modifications to the checking method are described in this reporting. A new version of the Object Inspection Program now resides in the Graphics 1557 Controller so that multiple sets of line directives that outline the elements of the structure may be inserted at one time. Then each group of elements, limited in numbers to ease the visual observation, may be checked individually or added to the other groups so that assemblies of these groups can be viewed in one display for checking. A sample sequence of the displays is described.
