The computer is an indispensible tool for engineering analysis and              design with the finite element being a major computational method               which is used in many applications, e.g. structural analysis, heat              transfer, electro-magnetic fields.  There are numerous packages                 available; NASTRAN, MARC, etc., which are analysis codes using finite           element techniques.  Although these packages are written in a modular           form to accommodate program changes, extensive manual coding                    implementations are still necessary for the incorporation of new                analysis features.                                                                                                                                              Many of the manipulations encountered during code implementation can            be handled by symbolic computation which can deal with mathematical             functions as a whole aside from the arithmetic operations.  The                 benefits are: reduced manual tedium, increased reliability, and                 shorter response time to changes or addition of new features for                analysis.                                                                                                                                                       A group of researchers from civil and electrical engineering join with          computer scientists will address the incorporation of symbolic                  computing into finite-element analysis.  In particular, the following           will be carried out:  1) automatic equation derivation and code                 generation for finite element analysis, 2) automatic finite element             code generation for vector and parallel processors, 3) application of           such algorithms for structures, heat transfer, electromagnetic field            applications, 4) design and implementation of an advanced user                  interface for engineers utilizing high resolution graphics.
