The program allows both programmers and non-programmers to easily construct their own custom application interface and to move that interface and application to different machine environments. TAE Plus makes both the application and the machine environment transparent, with noticeable improvements in the learning curve. The main components of TAE Plus are: (1) the WorkBench, a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) tool for the design and layout of a user interface; (2) the Window Programming Tools Package (WPT), a set of callable subroutines that control an application's user interface; and (3) TAE Command Language (TCL), an easy-to-learn command language that provides an easy way to develop an executable application prototype with a run-time interpreted language. TAE Plus requires MIT's X Window System, Version 11 Release 4, and the Open Software Foundation's Motif. The Workbench and WPTs are written in C++ and the remaining code is written in C. TAE Plus is available by license for an unlimited time period. The licensed program product includes the TAE Plus source code and one set of supporting documentation. the amount of disk space required to load the TAE Plus tar format tape is between 35Mb and 67Mb depending on the machine version. The recommended minimum memory is 12Mb. Each TAE Plus platform delivery tape includes pre-built libraries and executable binary code for that particular machine, as well as source code, so users do not have to do an installation. Users wishing to recompile the source will need both a C compiler and either GNU's C++ Version 1.39 or later, or a C++ compiler based on AT&T 2.0 cfront. TAE Plus 5.2 is expected to be available on media suitable for seven different machine platforms: 1) DEC VAX computers running VMS (TK50 cartridge in VAX BACKUP format), 2) IBM RS/6000 series workstations running AIX (.25 inch tape cartridge in UNIX tar format), 3) DEC RISC workstations running ULTRIX (TK50 cartridge in UNIX tar format), 4) HP9000 Series 300/400 computers running HP-UX (.25 inch HP-preformatted tape cartridge in UNIX tar format), 5) HP9000 Series 700 computers running HP-UX (HP 4mm DDS DAT tape cartridge in UNIX tar format), 6) Sun4 (SPARC) series computers running SunOS (.25 inch tape cartridge in UNIX tar format), and 7) SGI Indigo computers running IRIX (.25 inch IRIS tape cartridge in UNIX tar format).

The analysis contains the essential features required to effectively design structural components made from fiber composites. ICAN includes the micromechanical design features of the Intraply Hybrid Composite Design (INHYD) program to predict ply level hygral, thermal, and mechanical properties. The laminate analysis features of the Multilayered Filamentary Composite Analysis (MFCA) program are included to account for interply layer effects. ICAN integrates these and additional features to provide a comprehensive analysis capability for composite structures. Two machine versions of ICAN are available. The IBM 370 series version (LEW-14468) is written in FORTRAN IV for the IBM 370 series computers running OS/TSS. The new IBM PC version (LEW- 15592) is written in FORTRAN 77 for use on the IBM PC series computers running MS-DOS and Microsoft FORTRAN 5.1. For the IBM PC version, a sample executable, along with sample input and output data, is included on the distribution medium. Although the included executable requires a math coprocessor, the ICAN source can be recompiled into an executable which does not require a math coprocessor. The standard distribution medium for the IBM PC version of ICAN is one 5.25 inch 360K MS-DOS format diskette. The contents of the diskette are compressed using the PKWARE archiving tools. The utility to unarchive the files, PKUNZIP.EXE, is included. Program $1,150; documentation $22. OPTIMIZATION BY NEURAL NET Expensive analysis programs are often combined with optimization procedures to solve engineering problems. An optimal solution requires numerous iterations between the analysis program and an optimizer. This often becomes prohibitive due to cost and amount of computer time needed to converge to an optimal solution. NETS/PROSSS was developed at NASA Langley Research Center to provide a system for combining NETS (MSC-21588), a neural network program developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center, and the optimization program CONMIN (Constrained Function Minimization, ARC-10836) developed at Ames Research Center. After training, NETS approximates the results from the analysis program, possibly allowing the user to reach a near-optimal solution in much less time than before. These results can then be used as a starting point in a normal optimization process, possibly allowing the user to converge to an optimal solution in significantly fewer iterations. NETS/PROSSS, inventory number LAR-14818, is written in C-language and FORTRAN 77 for Sun series computers running SunOS. The required CONMIN and NETS v3.0 files are included in this package. The documentation for CONMIN and NETS are included with the documentation of NETS/PROSSS. The program requires 342K of RAM for execution. The standard distribution medium for this program is a .25 inch streaming magnetic tape cartridge in UNIX tar format. It is also available on a 3.5 inch diskette in UNIX tar format. Program $800; documentation $43. TURBINE DESIGN TD2-2 is an improved version of the previously available TD2 program developed for NASA Lewis Research Center. TD2-2 determines alternative geometries and associated design point performance of axial-flow turbines capable of satisfying specified design requirements. It also solves the flow field within the turbine using a streamline analysis that includes streamline slope and curvature in the radial equilibrium. TD2-2 is capable of analyzing both single and multispool units. A maximum of three spools is allowed, and each spool may have up to eight stages. The absolute and relative flow fields are computed at the first stator inlet, at each interblade row plane, and at the final rotor exit. The effects of the radial variation of the following quantities are taken into account: inlet conditions, streamline angle of inclination and curvature, loss coefficient or efficiency, and meridional velocity or angle. Further, the effects of coolant flows, interfilament mixing, and a station-to-station variation of specific heat can be included. TD2-2, inventory number LEW-11029, runs on Sun series computers under SunOS and DEC VAX series computers running VMS. It is written in FORTRAN 77. This program requires most input to be in NAMELIST format, and thus may not lend itself to implementation on certain platforms. It requires 307K of RAM under SunOS 4.1.1, and 51K of RAM under VMS 5-5.1. The standard distribution medium for this program is a .25 inch streaming magnetic tape cartridge in UNIX tar format. It is also available on a 3.5 inch diskette in UNIX tar format, a 9-track 1600 BPI magnetic tape in DEC VAX FILES-11 format, and a TK50 tape cartridge in DEC VAX FILES-11 format. Program $600; documentation $59. COMPOSITE ANALYSIS A specialized, microstructural lattice model from NASA Lewis Research Center termed MCFET, for combined Monte Carlo Finite Element Technique, has been developed to simulate microstructural evolution in material systems where modulated phases occur and the directionality of the modulation is influenced by internal and external stresses. Unlike molecular dynamics, this approach was developed specifically to predict macroscopic behavior, not atomistic behavior. In this approach, the microstructure is discretized into a fine lattice. Each element in the lattice is labeled in accordance with its microstructural identity. Diffusion of material at elevated temperatures is simulated by allowing exchanges of neighboring elements if the exchange lowers the total energy of the system. A Monte Carlo approach is used to select the exchange site while the change in energy associated with stress fields is computed using a finite element technique. Sample MCFET analyses for multiparticle problems have been run and, in general, the resulting microstructural changes associated with the application of an external stress are similar to that observed in Ni-Al-Cr alloys at elevated temperatures. This program is written in FORTRAN for use on a 370 series IBM mainframe. It has been implemented on an IBM 370 running VM/SP and an IBM 3084 running MVS. It requires the IMSL math library and 220K of RAM for execution. The standard distribution medium for this program is a 9-track 1600 BPI magnetic tape in EBCDIC format. Program $500; documentation $16.

IBM PC; MS-DOS Version 2.1 or higher; Compiled BASIC; DOE. ARTS, Accountability Reporting and Tracking System - ARTS is a micro based prototype of the data elements, screens, and information processing rules that apply to the Accountability Reporting Program. The system focuses on the Accountability Event. The Accountability Event is an occurrence of incurring avoidable costs. The system must be able to CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) instances of the Accountability Event. Additionally, the system must provide for a review committee to update the 'event record' with findings and determination information. Lastly, the system must provide for financial representatives to perform a cost reporting process. IBM PC; PC-DOS or MS-DOS version 3.0 through 5.0; dBASE IV version 1.1; DOE. BOILER PERF MODEL, Fossil-Fired Boilers - a package of eleven programs for predicting the heat transfer performance of fossil-fired utility boilers. The programs can model a wide variety of boiler designs, provide boiler performance estimates for coal, oil or gaseous fuels, determine the influence of slagging and fouling characteristics on boiler performance, and calculate performance factors for tradeoff analyses comparing boilers and fuels. Given a set of target operating conditions, the programs can estimate control settings, gas and steam operating profiles through the boiler, overall boiler efficiency, and fuel consumption. The programs can model subcritical or supercritical boilers, most configurations of convective passes including boilers that achieve final re-heat steam temperature control by split back pass, boilers with as many as two repeat circuits and/or multiple attemperator stations in series, and boilers with or without economizers and/or air heaters. Either regenerative or tubular air heaters are supported. The package is designed for general use rather than tailored to a particular make or type of boiler. The modeling components and the calculation programs can be used in any combination. Each model component describes the operation of a specific part of the boiler and can be interconnected with almost any other component to produce many different boiler configurations. IBM PC; DOS 3.1; Microsoft QuickBASIC; DOE. CINDY1.2, Code for INternal Dosimetry - CINDY was developed to assist in the interpretation of bioassay data, provide bioassay projections, and evaluate committed and calendar-year doses from intake or bioassay measurement data. CINDY addresses DOE Order 5480.11 and NRC 10 CFR 20 by providing the capabilities to calculate organ dose equivalents and effective dose equivalents using the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) 30 approach. Biokinetic models are used to estimate intakes, estimate organ burdens, urinary and fecal excretion rates from a given intake, and determine organ doses for annual, 50-year, calendar year, or any other time point. IBM PS/2; DOS; FORTRAN AND QUICKBASIC; DOE. DISPERS, Mathematical Models for Dispersion of Radionuclides - DISPERS computes the fate of routinely or accidentally released radionuclides in surface water and groundwater. The mathematical models in DISPERS are straightforward simulations of dispersion with constant coefficients and, in general, simple geometries. The SSTUBE and TUBE programs are useful for two-dimensional dispersion of a continuous source into a river after steady state has been attained. The RIVLAK program also applies to dispersion in a river, but the source may be steady or unsteady. GROUND is used for calculating the dispersion in a three-dimensional aquifer and is most useful for determining the concentration at wells downgradient of a source released from a vertical plane. GRDFLX provides the same function but it considers a horizontal area source. IBM PS/2; CDC6600; Machine Dependent; FORTRAN IV, BASIC II; NRC. EQ3/6 V7.0, Geochemical Modeling of Aqueous Systems - The major components of the package include: EQ3NR a speciation-solubility code; EQ6, a reaction path code which models water/rock interaction or fluid mixing in either a pure reaction progress mode or a time mode; EQPT, a data file preprocessor; EQLIB, a supporting software library; and five supporting thermodynamic data files. The software deals with the concepts of thermodynamic equilibrium, thermodynamic disequilibrium, and reaction kinetics. The five supporting data files contain both standard state and activity coefficient-related data. Three support the use of the Davies or B-dot equations for the activity coefficients; the other two support the use of Pitzes's equations. The temperature range of the thermodynamic data on the data files varies from 25 degrees C only to 0-300 degrees C. EQ3NR is useful for analyzing groundwater chemistry data, calculating solubility limits, and determining whether certain reactions are in states of partial equilibrium or disequilibrium. It is also required to initialize an EQ6 calculation. EQ6 models the consequences of reacting an aqueous solution with a specified set of reactants. It can also model fluid mixing and the effects of changes in temperature. This code operates in a pure reaction progress frame (e.g., makes equilibrium step calculations with no time variable) or in a time frame. SUN; UNIX; ANSI FORTRAN77; DOE. FEFF 5.03, Ab initio X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Code - FEFF5.03 calculates single and multiple-scattering curved wave XAFS spectra, phase shifts and effective scattering amplitudes for clusters atoms.

RIDS, Records Inventory and Disposition Schedule - RIDS provides a centralized system for maintaining information on all record and nonrecord material held by MMES and for generating records inventory and disposition schedules. IBM PC/XT; MS DOS; dBASE IV; DOE. SKYSHINEIII, Calculating Effects of Structure Design on Neutron Dose Rates in Air - SKYSHINE was designed to aid in the evaluation of the effects of structure geometry on the gamma-ray dose rate at given detector positions outside of a building housing gamma-ray sources. The program considers a rectangular structure enclosed by four walls and a roof. Each of the walls and the roof of the building may be subdivided into up to nine different areas, representing different materials or different thicknesses of the same material for those positions of the wall or roof. Basic sets of iron and concrete slab transmission and reflection data for 6.2 MeV gamma-rays are part of the SKYSHINE block data. These data, as well as parametric air transport data for line-beam sources at a number of energies between 0.6 MeV and 6.2 MeV and ranges to 3750 ft, are used to estimate the various components of the gamma-ray dose rate at positions outside of the building. The gamma-ray source is assumed to be a 6.2 MeV point-isotropi source. DEC VAX8600, VMS; FORTRAN 77; NRC. SXLSQA, For the Interpretation of Solvent Extraction Data - SXLSQA models solvent extraction systems involving an acidic and/or a neutral reagent in an organic solvent that can extract from an aqueous solution one or two cations in addition to H plus and one or two anions in addition to OH minus.
