CADRE 1.02
CADRE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS - UNLICENSED EVALUATION SHAREWARE
BY
CADRE ANALYTIC
===================================================================
INTRODUCTION: CADRE 1.02 is a Windows 3.1 finite element structural
and dynamic analysis program used for calculating displacements and
loads in static structures, or frequencies and modal vibration shapes
in dynamic structures. This unlicensed shareware version is made
available for evaluation purposes only. CADRE 1.02 is compatible with
Windows 95.
WHATS NEW WITH THIS EDITION:
1) CADRE 1.02 has been modified to make it compatible with
international number formats set in Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
2) CADRE 1.02 provides a feature to print to a file with field
separators. These allow importation of the output into a
spreadsheet where the data can be acessed by graphing software.
FURTHER INFORMATION: To obtain specifications and the latest file see
The Official Developers Home Page on the Internet:
http://Slicenet.futuris.net/Official/CADRE
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
IBM or compatible 386 with 4 megabytes RAM minimum.
IBM or compatible 486 with 8 megabytes RAM recommended.
MicroSoft Windows 3.1 (or Windows 95) operation system.
Windows 3.1 compatible Printer with TrueType Fonts
SETUP:
1) If you downloaded a packed self executing file cd102.exe:
The self extracting file first displays a dialog box to allow selection
of a temporary directory to put the initial unpacked files, then the
files will be automatically extracted to the temporary directory of your
choice. If the directory doesn't exist, then it will be created. After
unpacking, the installation program will automatically be executed
provided you leave that option checked in the initial dialog box where
you chose the temporary unpacking directory.
If you had unchecked that option, then to continue the installation,
you must go to the file manager and click on the file SETUP.EXE in the
temporary directory.
You can now delete the temporary directory (i.e. C:\Cadtemp ) and all
of its files after saving CD102.exe somewhere for safe keeping.
Alternatively, the files in the temporary directory
(excluding CD101b.exe) could be copied to a floppy to create a
standard setup disk for CADRE 1.02.
2) If you downloaded a file named cd102.zip you will need to aquire an
unzipping utility. We recommend PKZIP by PKWARE or WinZip by Nico
Mak. Both are available as shareware. Unzip the file to a
temporary directory. Then go to the file manager and click on the
file named SETUP.EXE as explaned in (1) above.
3) If you are using a CADRE 1.02 setup disk follow the directions on the
Label and setup it up from the Program Manager in Windows 3.1.
4) During installation you may receive a notice such as:
"Unable to copy DDEML.DL_ - file in use".
This may be caused when other windows programs are in use. This
notice almost always occurs if you are using Windows 95. If you get
this message, just press OK to ignore it because if you're using
it, you already have it on your system anyway.
5) At the end of the setup routine you are asked if you want to
add the extension ".fem" to the association list in your WIN.INI
file. Choosing YES, you will always be able to execute a
".fem" file by clicking on it in the File Manager. You can always
set this up later right from the Windows 3.1 File Manager by choosing
the Associate item under the menu File item.
GETTING STARTED:
The best way to get familiar with CADRE is to go through the
sample exercises in the
Help - Getting started
file on the main menu bar. This contains 6 exercises to lead
you through examining, creating, and solving both static and
dynamic models.
SAMPLES:
An instructive group of samples are provided with the setup
Disk. They are sumarized in the file SAMPLES.TXT.
The help file is extensive, context sensitive, and is intended to
be an online manual for CADRE 1.02. You can use the F1 key when
any form is displayed to get help on that form.
Although the evaluation version of CADRE 1.02 provides the full
set of features and capabilities for building finite element models,
The best and easiest way to construct large complex models is with
the special tools offered in most drawing applications then converting
these to DXF files and subsequently to CADRE FEM files. Conversion
utilities both to and from DXF files are provided free to registered
CADRE users. Conversion utilities to convert between measurement
systems (Metric, English) are also provided free with registration.
ADVANTAGES OF REGISTRATION:
1) Support in the use of CADRE by the authors who are also
registered professional engineers.
