VecTor is a suite of computer programs developed for the nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Due to the substantial nature of output data produced by the programs, accessing pertinent analysis information is not easily accomplished. A graphics-based post-processor would greatly improve the overall utility of the VecTor programs by allowing the multitude of information to be visually displayed and manipulated for the purposes of data synthesis and rapid verification of results.
The intent of this manual is to demonstrate a post-processor program which reads and displays the results of VecTor-based analyses in a robust and straightforward manner. The proposed post-processor program, named Janus, will provide the user with the capability to display both local and global response characteristics. Janus will allow the user to comprehensively recall and manipulate structural analysis results on a model-wide basis as well as display pertinent information for individually specified elements of interest.
