circuit design); and Dimension 111 (for architecture, engineering and construction). Each terminal incorporates a 16-bit CPU with up to 256 kwords of memory, plus a 160 Mbyte Winchester-disc store, system console and a magnetic-tape unit. The workstation is the first phase in a distributed processing system, designed to provide every terminal with access to the same database.

Matrix plots FEM graphics PDA]Patran-G is a suite of CAD programs developed by PDA Engineering. The programs are designed mainly for use with colour display terminals, and allow for the development of a 3D model using points, lines, surfaces and solids. The software can also serve as a pre- and postprocessor for finite element programs such as NASTRAN, ASAS and ANSYS. PDA/PATRAN-G runs on DEC VAX or Prime 50 series computers. (Marketed in UK and

Partitions suppliers Unilock have installed a PEA C CA D system comprising a DEC VAX 11/780 computer, digitizers, Tektronix storage tubes, a Megatek refresh graphics unit and a Versatec electrostatic plotter. Since Unilock need to show elevations on working drawings, UK marketers Decision Graphics created programs to interface with PEA C. Further programs produce schedules of components for the Unilock factory and quotations through a word processor. (Decision Graphics UK Limited, Gatwick Road, Crawley, West Sussex RHIO 2UN, UK.
