Abstract

The Structural Analysis Program, SAP, has been widely accepted and modified to perform a wide variety of structural analyses at many universities, government and industrial organizations. This paper will document the development of SAP into a user-oriented program for linear dynamic and static analysis of large complex structures which is referred to as FESAP ( Finite Element Structural Analysis Program). The paper will also describe companion computer programs which constitute a total design system for thermo-structural analysis. The total system includes mesh generation programs, a heat transfer program, the structural analysis program, batch and interactive graphic computer programs, and post-processors for the results of the heat transfer and structural analysis programs.
