The data preparation phase of most finite element analysis programs has notably been very slow and a time consuming process. Once data are input, one cannot ensure the validity of the input data until such time that the results of a lengthy calculation seem to be unacceptable. Interpretation and verification of results take considerable time and effort. The Extended Version of the Finite Element Analysis Program (XFEAP), a general purpose program for finite element analysis, share similar problem. In an attempt to reduce this, a preprocessor and a postprocessor system for the program has been developed. The preprocessor system offers an interactive environment suitable for creating and editing a data file. It generates the finite element model so that coordinates and element connectivities which constitute a major portion of the input can be checked. The postprocessor system provides an interactive graphics program which can be used to display the model as well as displacement and internal stresses. On top of these a program manager has also been developed so that access to the modules becomes a straightforward process.
