Development of a GIFTS (Graphics-Oriented Interactive Finite-Element Time-Sharing System) Plotting Package Compatible with Either PLOT10 or IBM/DSM Graphics

摘要

The objectives of this work are to implement the latest version of the Graphics-Oriented Interactive Finite-Element Time-Sharing system (GIFTS) on the IBM-370, to modify the GIFTS plotting package for compatibility with the IBM dual screen management (IBM/DSM) graphics package, and to test the various GIFTS capabilities, some of which have not been used or tested at the Naval Postgraduate School. GIFTS can now be used with either the IBM dual screen graphics stations or a PLOT10 compatible terminal. (Author)
