| Abstract | The existing code of the Analysis Interpretive Treatise Program (AIT) has been developed in Fortran77, which operate under DOS system. Presently, this system is widely used in the Windows operating system. The main objective of the development the Windows version is to increase the convenience in using the program to enhance effectiveness in learning of structural analysis. The pre-processor and post-processor are written in Visual Basic 5.0 to create an interactive interface for input data. The spreadsheet like command input interface is substituted in this version. However, the process module still depends on the previous engine to preserve high efficiency of processing. The Database file of Microsoft access is used as data storage in the new version. Mixed language programming is employed in the structure of the program. Calling and naming conventions are the link between Visual Basic and Fortran. The Fortran engine is built to DLL files. Numerical examples for comparing Windows and DOS version are tested. The results show the efficiency of the Windows version in processing of general commands except output commands. |
