The preprocessor - solver - postprocessor software for 2D/Axisymmetric CSCM Upwind Flux Difference Splitting Navier-Stokes code has been developed for undergraduate educational purpose. This computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software allows students to setup, solve, visualize and control dynamically server for their own fluid problems via Internet. The preprocessor Is capable of generating geometry and grid, initial solution data and required solver control parameters. The postprocessor shows vector plot and contour plot with different options while residual plot shows root-mean-square (RMS) error history graphically and retrieves the data from solver interactively. Special feature of the preprocessor is grid generation part which is based on MFC/Visual C++ application and FORTRAN single block grid generator process. Many users can access solver via Internet from client computers and solve desired problems using locally installed pre- and postprocessor and remote powerful solver part.

An integrated environment for optimum design has been developed using Motif. The integrated environment is composed of the preprocessor, the postprocessor and the optimization part. The preprocessor is part of making a finite element model for optimum structural design and the postprocessor displays results of optimum design and the optimization part is the part which execute optimization. It is designed to reduce user's difficulties in structural optimum design. It used Graphic User Interface for the concurrent representation of various inputs and outputs through the dialog box, mouse and keyboard. Structural optimum design can be done easily through dialog box, menu, concurrent representation of modeling process and results of structural optimum design can be understood easily through stress contour, deformed model and graph of cost function.

Real-time multibody vehicle dynamics software has been developed for virtual handling tests. The software can be utilized for HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulations) and consists of three modules such as a graphical vehicle modeling preprocessor, a real time dynamics solver, and a virtual reality graphic postprocessor for virtual handling tests. In the graphical vehicle modeling preprocessor, vehicle hard point data for a suspension model are automatically converted into multibody vehicle model. In the real time dynamics solver, the efficient subsystem synthesis method is used to create multibody equations of motion for a subsystem by a subsystem. In the virtual reality graphic postprocessor, an animator has been also developed by using Matlab Virtual Reality Toolbox for virtual handling tests.

A graphics system for optimum design(GOD) was developed for the various optimization programs. It is composed of a preprocessor and a postprocessor using the methods of pull-down and pop-up menus. The preprocessor of GOD system helps the designer to make a input file or a subprogram according to a selected optimization program. The postprocessor of the system display the numerical results generated during the iterative numerical analysis processes graphically in the graphic mode. Numerical examples as a mathematical linear problem and a 3-bar truss structure are presented to explain the use of GOD system. The system was programmed in one of the computer programming languages, Borland C.

CAMPfonn2D is a Finite Element Method (FEM) based process simulation system designed to analyze two dimensional (2D) flow of various metal forming processes. It enables designers to analyze metal forming processes on the computer rather than the shop floor using trial and error and provides vital information about material and thermal flow during the forming process to facilitate the design of products. CAMPfonn2D can be used by companies, research institutes and industrial applications to analyze forging, extrusion, drawing, heading, upsetting and many other metal forming processes. Also, process simulation using CAMPfonn2D can be instrumental in cost, quality and delivery improvements at leading companies. Today's competitive pressures require companies to take advantage of every tool for rapid manufacturing of well-designed product. So, the preprocessor of simulation program must be easy to use to speed-up design. In this paper, we introduce new version of Preprocessor and show how easy to use it. And, Preprocessor will prove itself to be easy and extremely effective.

The computer related techniques have been developed rapidly in the field of metal removal industry. The electronic catalog for mechanical elements is one of such developments realized in recent years. As the emergence of the electronic catalogs in the 90s, it breaks the restriction of the traditional catalog and becomes a helpful and efficient tool in the field. In this paper, we develop an electronic catalog for the cutting tools of the Korea Tungsten Co. Ltd. The catalog consists of three parts: a preprocessor for tool selection, a database for tool, and a postprocessor for search result. A preprocessor for tool selection is developed under a user-friendly consideration. A database for tool consists of milling, drilling, and reaming tools with a list of cutters, inserts, and components. A postprocessor for search result consists of weight, dimension. drawing, product order number etc. of the tools. It also suggests the optimized cutting condition of the selected tool using a neural network technique which is done by an independent research group.

Computer simulations are widely used to analyze passenger safety in simulated traffic accidents. ATB, Articulated Total Body, is a computer simulation model developed to predict gross human body response to such dynamic environments as vehicle crashes and pilot ejections. ATB, whose code is open, has high flexibility and application capability that users can easily insert defined modules and functions. ATB is, however, inconvenient as it was coded in FORTRAN and it needs a formated input file. Moreover, it takes much time to make input files and to modify coding errors. This study aims to increase user friendliness by adding a preprocessor program, WINATB(WINdows ATB), to the conventional ATB. WINATB, programmed in Visual C＋＋ and OpenGL, uses ATB IV as a dynamic solver. The preprocessor helps users prepare input files through graphic interface and dialog box. An additional postprocessor makes the graphical presentation of simulated results. In these case of the frontal crash, the rear impact and the side impact, the simulation results obtained by WINATB and MADYMO(MAthematical Dynamic Model) are compared to validate the effectiveness of WINAIB.

The objective of this paper is to develop a finite element structural analysis program using VB(Visual Basic) which has been recently getting popular as development tools of application program for Windows. VB provides several functions to develop an application program easily by supporting event-driven programming method and graphic object as control data type. This system is an integrated processor including preprocessor, solver and postprocessor. Automatic mesh generation is available at preprocess stage, and graphic presentation of deformation and stress is also represented at postprocess one.

A simulation system for versatile garment drape has been developed. Using this system, the shape of a garment can be simulated in consideration of fabric physical properties as well as the interaction between fabrics and other objects. Each fabric piece in a garment is modeled using a geometrically constrained particle system and its behavior is calculated from an implicit numerical integration algorithm in a relatively short time. The system consists of three modules including a preprocessor for the preparation of fabric patterns and external objects, a postprocessor for the results of three-dimensional visualization, and a drape simulation engine. It can be used for the design process of textile goods, garments, furniture, or upholsteries.
