Abstract
Content
The concepts and methods used by the RIFEM computer program for the rapid preprocessing and postprocessing of finite-element model data are presented. A description of the primary program modules for interactively reading, generating, and displaying this data is given. Examples showing the capabilities of the program for generating a finite-element model's bulk data deck and for displaying the postprocessed analysis results are also provided.
