- Summary
-
FORMAT (FORtran Matrix Abstraction Technique) is a digital computer system consisting of three distint programs written entirely in Fortran IV. The system provides for generating, manipulating, printing, and plotting of large order (i.e., 2000) matrices commonly used in state-of-the-art structural analysis techniques. The capability of maintaining and automatic editing of case data has also been provided. Phase 1 of the system automatically generates matrices for joining, symmetric/antisymmetric disconnect, vibration, and stability analyses. Modules for converting continuous-to-discrete loads, analytic-to-discrete geometry, and a master case data file editor are provided to reduce input data requirements. Phase 2 of the system provides for the manipulation of matrices. The matrix operations (e.g., add, multiply, etc.), several special matrix operations, (e.g., adjoin), and severl control operations (e.g., save matrices, conditional IF test, etc.). Phases 3 of the system provides for self-explanatory report form printing of matrices and a nominal graphical display capability, including a geometric display.
