Abstract

This work deals with a pre and pos data processing computational system specific for building structures. This computational system has been developed to work together with a finite element program for structural analysis, and it must include elements for flood structures analysis, as bars, plates, membranes and springs; and elements for bracing structures, as 3D-bar and rigid elements. Borland\'s Delphi, a rapid application development environment based on Object Pascal, has been used in this work. The reason for this choice is to provide an easy way to future modifications and additions in the source code. Finally, the developed system should make possible the integration, through user friendly interfaces, with other programs already developed in Fortran, for instance, for designing beams, columns, and others structural elements.
