Examples of finite element mesh generation using SDRC IDEAS

IDEAS (Integrated Design Engineering Analysis Software) offers a comprehensive package for mechanical design engineers. Due to its multifaceted capabilities, however, it can be manipulated to serve the needs of electrical engineers, also. IDEAS can be used to perform the following tasks: system modeling, system assembly, kinematics, finite element pre/post processing, finite element solution, system dynamics, drafting, test data analysis, and project relational database

Static and dynamic management models production at the entity

Static and dynamic economic-mathematical models for the solution of tasks of information support and optimization of integrated management of engineering procedures at the entity are described. Within these models algorithms of the solution of static and dynamic tasks of information support and complex optimization of management of engineering procedures at the entity are proposed

IAC user manual

The User Manual for the Integrated Analysis Capability (IAC) Level 1 system is presented. The IAC system currently supports the thermal, structures, controls and system dynamics technologies, and its development is influenced by the requirements for design/analysis of large space systems. The system has many features which make it applicable to general problems in engineering, and to management of data and software. Information includes basic IAC operation, executive commands, modules, solution paths, data organization and storage, IAC utilities, and module implementation

Model-driven transformation and validation of adaptive educational hypermedia using CAVIAr

Authoring of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia is a complex activity requiring the combination of a range of design and validation techniques.We demonstrate how Adaptive Educational Hypermedia can be transformed into CAVIAr courseware validation models allowing for its validation. The model-based representation and analysis of different concerns and model-based mappings and transformations are key contributors to this integrated solution. We illustrate the benefits of Model Driven Engineering methodologies that allow for interoperability between CAVIAr and a well known Adaptive Educational Hypermedia framework. By allowing for the validation of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia, the course creator limits the risk of pedagogical problems in migrating to Adaptive Educational Hypermedia from static courseware

Tree-Sparse Modeling and Solution of Multistage Stochastic Programs

Multistage stochastic programs are prototypical for nonlinear programs with an inherent tree structure inducing characteristic sparsity patterns in the KKT systems of interior methods. We present an integrated modeling and solution approach for such tree-sparse programs. Three closely related natural formulations having desirable control-theoretic properties lead to KKT system solution algorithms with linear complexity. Application examples from computational finance and process engineering demonstrate the efficiency of the approach
