ALGEBRA — A Program That Algebraically Manipulates the Output of a Finite Element Analysis (EXODUS Version)

The ALGEBRA program allows the user to manipulate data from a finite element analysis before it is plotted. The finite element output data is in the form of variable values (e.g., stress, strain, and velocity components) in an EXODUS database. The ALGEBRA program evaluates user-supplied functions of the data and writes the results to an output EXODUS database which can be read by plot programs. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The original version of ALGEBRA was written by Mary R. Sagartz and Johnny H. Biffle [1]. The version of ALGEBRA described in [2] manipulates a SEACO database [3].
