Software for engineering functions has develop into, over the last few years, a multi-billion pound as purposes of laptop courses at the moment are a necessary a part of any engineering venture. even so, engineer­ ing software program isn't really continuously trustworthy and plenty of fail to supply strong options. the level of this challenge, that's very high priced to the engineering undefined, and its results, are just a little hidden as the software program has no longer reached the required adulthood. An engineer wishes an extended education prior to having the ability to layout a physique for example. in spite of the fact that, to do this, he might use a working laptop or computer application which has gone through no validation whatever and is written by means of anyone with none engineering wisdom. it's central to handle this challenge to make sure that desktop codes are appropriately ready to supply sturdy options, and they are powerful and trustworthy. This second overseas convention on Reliability and Robustness of En­ gineering software program (RRES ninety one) was once referred to as to handle this challenge. The assembly was once held in Milan, Italy, in April 1991 and was once of significance to engineers operating in who're actively concerned with the improve­ ment of laptop codes.

Der Klimawandel im Zeitalter technischer Reproduzierbarkeit: Climate Engineering zwischen Risiko und Praxis

​Hannes Fernow führt interdisziplinär in das Thema weather Engineering ein. Er integriert im Rahmen einer Politischen Hermeneutik wissenschaftstheoretische, technikphilosophische und umweltethische Argumente in historisch tradierte Risiko- und Naturverständnisse und zeigt, dass die Folgen von technologischen Klimaveränderungen nicht verlässlich vorhersagbar sind.

3 Automatically generating the main program for finite element computation The main program can be automatically generated according to the Reliability and Robustness 37 formulae given by the user to tell the generator how to form the stiffness matrix and the load vector. 4 Automatically generating programs to allocate dynamically core memory for all arrays. FEPG can help the user implement the dynamic allocation of memory according to the FORTRAN program which defines arrays statically. 5 Up to now, this system can automatically generate finite element programs to solve various linear static and dynamic (including eigenvalue) problems and to solve any linear, non-linear and couple equations (including non-symmetric case).

Scientists and engineers can solve any PDE problems by FEPG without coding while using FEM. So a big amount of coding time will be saved and they can concentrate on the formulae and algorithms, but not program design and coding.

B28, B-4000 Liege, Belgique (*)This author is Research Assistant with the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research ABSTRACT A software tool is presented which is aimed to facilitate the development of large numerical programs such as the ones using the finite element method (see Silvester [1]) and the boundary element method (see Brebbia [2]).

Many engineering problems require a detailed understanding by the engineer of a broad range of engineering solutions, the utilisation of a range of skills and close inter-working within a multidisciplinary engineering team. To support that team, engineering software has to be fully integrated with it so that it performs clearly defined tasks itself, and supports the role of the different members of the engineering team. This objective can only be achieved by a careful study of how engineering solutions are achieved within different companies and organisational structures.
