ABSTRACT
This paper describes a two-dimensional interactive graphics pre- and post-processor system developed at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) for the finite element method (FEM). The paper describes advantages of the data structure of the package and new algorithms developed for grid generation and analysis output display. The programs are developed especially for a time-sharing system (Honeywell G-635) to be used on a storage tube type terminal (Tektronix 4012 or 4014). Programming techniques used to counter the lack of immediate response on such a system are also discussed.

Mortar finite volume element method with Crouzeix--Raviart element for parabolic problems
In this paper, we consider a semi-discrete mortar finite volume element method for two-dimensional parabolic problems. This method is based on the mortar Crouzeix-Raviart non-conforming finite element space. It is proved that the mortar finite volume ...
Accurate pressure post-process of a finite element method for elastoacoustics
This paper deals with a post-process to obtain a more accurate approximation of the fluid pressure from a finite element computation of the vibration modes of a fluid-structure coupled system. The underlying finite element method, based on a ...
