Automatic Reading of Node Values in a Numerical Model

Article Abstract by: fadzlina    

Original Author: Rudi Heriansyah & S. A. R. Abu Bakar
In numerical modeling using numerical finite elements and finite difference based software, sometimes it is important to
know the value for each node.  These software commonly have no facility to read automatically the value and to compose them into a two dimensional form.  For a model with less number of nodes, the reading can be done manually usually by clicking directly on the node of interest, but as the nod numbers become larger, this manual way is certainly not an efficient and effective way.  Other alternative is by saving the node values, but usually the data is saved in one dimensional form.  This paper proposes an algorithm for automatic reading of node values in a numerical model, composing them into a two dimensional form, and displaying them as a graphic object.  Since the software usually has a facility to save the data in a spreadsheet format, the proposed algorithm is implemented in this environment by using spreadsheet script programming.
