OFR-123(4)-81 Finite Element Analysis Applied To Resin And Mechanical Roof Bolting Systems For Strata Bound Deposits - Volume IV ? Appendix D - Listing Of Computer Program SAP-S - 1. Program Layout Of Subroutine

It is of upmost importance to keep the size of the program to a minimum for the computer being used. One way is to reduce the size of the data bank by adjusting the large common array A in the main program (page, line 32) and the statement following the assignment of A. The current value of A is 35001 and is optimized for the UNIVAC computer with 5,000 words of useable storage. Another way to reduce the required storage is to overlay the program. That is, to have in the computer only the subroutines which are being used. In large finite element codes, overlays or segmentation of the program is a necessity. The code presented here has three levels of segments and are presented graphically in the tree in Figure D-1.
