Development of a Computer Graphics Package for Displaying Static and Dynamic Analyses of Frame Structures

A computer graphics package for displaying the results of finite element calculations that model the nonlinear static and dynamic response of frame structures is presented. This package uses the public domain general purpose finite element code, ANSR, as the analysis package and the general purpose color graphics code, MOVIE.BYU, to display the results. Example results from both static and dynamic nonlinear calculations are presented using high quality graphics pictures.
