摘要

Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 20: Application of the GIFTS-5 Minibased Graphics System for Ship Design and Analysis. The GIFTS finite element structural analysis system has been developed with the support of the Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Coast Guard, and members of the GIFTS Users Group (GUG). It is a graphics-oriented collection of programs, which operate on a standardized data base. The system is designed to fit in a relatively small core area, and is specifically suited to time sharing and mini-computer systems. It may be used as a stand-alone finite element package or as a pre- and postprocessor for other systems.
