Abstract

Two important characteristics of the computational problems associated with production engineering analysis are: (1) a large number of variations in the computational procedure is required to treat the many "special cases” and (2) the problems involve large volumes of numerical data. A systematic approach for dealing with these problems is discussed. It includes a library of loosely coupled, data-base-oriented utility programs that are conveniently used as "building blocks” for constructing appropriate computational procedures. The difficult problems of data base organization and program linkage are discussed.
