Preliminary study on the potential usefulness of array processor techniques for structural synthesis

The effects of the use of array processor techniques within the structural analyzer program, SPAR, are simulated in order to evaluate the potential analysis speedups which may result. In particular the connection of a Floating Point System AP120 processor to the PRIME computer is discussed. Measurements of execution, input/output, and data transfer times are given. Using these data estimates are made as to the relative speedups that can be executed in a more complete implementation on an array processor maxi-mini computer system.

Computer-generated animation for analysis and design

The development of computer-generated animation techniques was reviewed and some examples of the current state of the art were described. A number of ways in which computer-generated animation can be used were examined in relation to the suitability for the engineering task at hand. The examples described are primarily concerned with attempting to combine two different types of simulation: that of superposition of an engineering design on the surrounding real world, and an evaluation of this simulation both from an engineering design and an aesthetic point of view.
